ATTRACTIONS / PERIYAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY
South India’s most popular wildlife sanctuary, Periyar is the pride of Kerala and home to one of India’s most successful community conservation projects since being rebranded as a tiger reserve. The sanctuary and the adjoining Periyar Lake are the perfect blend of nature’s resplendence and human innovation. Sprawled over an area of over 925 sq.kilometers, it is one India's 27 tiger reserves and the single biggest draw of visitors to Thekkady. The sanctuary is ardently guarded and efficiently managed, helping several highly endangered and endemic species of flora and fauna to thrive in the vast expanse of the sanctuary
It comes as no surprise that tourists spend the largest portion of their time in Thekkady engaged in activities related to the sanctuary. From boat, elephant and jeep safaris to night patrols through the dense forests, Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary does not leave anyone empty-handed in terms of memories to cherish. To go along with the impressive ambience of the sanctuary, the fact that your favorite hotel Tigers Roare is the closest to the entrance gate of the tiger reserve guarantees an truly immersive experience of the forest way of life with all the splendour and comfort of modern living. Keep your cameras handy or you might miss out on that once-in-a-lifetime shot at snapping a picture of a tiger.
