Periyar Lake

Periyar Lake is an artificial reservoir created in the late 19th century as part of the Periyar National Park in Kerala, surrounded by lush forests and diverse wildlife. The lake is crucial for the local ecosystem and offers a picturesque setting where visitors can spot elephants, bisons, and various bird species along its banks. Take a boat ride to fully appreciate the tranquil beauty and observe wildlife from the water. Early mornings or late afternoons provide the best chances for sightings and cooler temperatures. Nearby, the park offers nature trails and guided treks for those interested in exploring the rich flora and fauna up close.
