About Periyar
Periyar National Park is Kerala's crown jewel, built around the placid Periyar Lake in the Cardamom Hills. Herds of Asian elephants wade the shallows while tigers and gaur drink from the shoreline. Boat rides on the lake offer unforgettable wildlife encounters in a setting of extraordinary beauty, with mist-covered hills rising from the water in every direction.
