Wildlife Holiday in Kerala 7 Days & 6 Nights

Wildlife Holiday in Kerala—a lush, immersive journey into “God’s Own Country,” where nature thrives in every corner.

Kerala is a treasure trove for wildlife enthusiasts. With its tropical forests, misty hill stations, and serene backwaters, the state offers a rich variety of flora and fauna across its many sanctuaries and national parks:

• Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary (Thekkady): Famous for boat safaris on Periyar Lake and sightings of elephants, bison, and even tigers.
• Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary: Part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve, home to leopards, elephants, and rare birds.
• Parambikulam Tiger Reserve: A well-managed sanctuary with bamboo forests and tribal eco-stays.
• Silent Valley National Park: A pristine rainforest with endemic species and untouched biodiversity.
• Thattekad Bird Sanctuary: A paradise for birdwatchers with over 300 species.

Whether you’re cruising through forested lakes, trekking misty trails, or quietly observing hornbills in the canopy, Kerala’s wildlife circuit is both thrilling and soul-soothing.
