Water Safari:
There are several ways to explore the Periyar Tiger Reserve. The most popular is by boat, which allows visitors to watch animals drinking at the lakeside. Two hour allows visitors to watch animals drinking at the lakeside. Two hour trips are booked at Spice Village, and the best chance of sighting animals is in the early morning or at dusk. It's an eery sensation passing by the forest branches which poke out from the water, stretching through the mist like dead men's fingers. Many animals come to the water's edge and it is one of the few places in the world where elephants can be observed at close quarters from the safety of a boat.
Forest Treks:
It can bearranges for you to venture deep into the tropical forests. Accompanied by a tribal guide, you will be dropped off by boat at the far end of the lake, from where you proceed on foot, quickly leaving behind the crowds. It is only safe to travel at certain times of the day, but your guide will know more about the jungle than the wild animals which roam the savannah grasslands and woods.

approach, the efficacy of its therapies and the absence of distressing side
effects are some of its more salient features. Throughout the world there is
