Periyar off-road jeep

We had come to Thekkady for the Periyar National Park which was home to a Tiger sanctuary. We decided to stop for 2 nights so we could do a full safari. On reading the reviews however it seemed the probability of seeing an actual Tiger was less than 1% and indeed seeing any animals at all was pretty low. One other guest we spoke to said they had seen 1 deer and 1 water buffalo. We decided not to waste our time! There was a cultural show advertised that sounded quite good so we headed down to the ticket office. Having bought our tickets we were seduced a little bit by the jeep package advertising and since we had the time we signed up. Was a good call as it certainly was a fun (very off-road!) adventure!

Once the top was opened we were able to poke ourselves through the roof and take selfies – only when the terrain wasn’t too rough though!Read more
