Spice Village, Periyar
A
pleasant place to escape from the madding crowds of the cities and towns, Periyar
is a nice place to cruise on the lake, a place to enjoy a jungle walk with an
opportunity to see the wild animals. Set high in the ranges of the Western Ghats,
in Kerala, is the Periyar famous for its National Park and Tiger Reserve. The
park has a picturesque lake at the heart of the sanctuary. Formed with the building
of a dam in 1895, this reservoir meanders around the contours of the wooded
hills, providing a perennial source of water for the local wildlife. Herds of
elephant and sambar, gaur and wild pigs wander down to the lakeside and can
be observed from the launches that cruise the lake.
