One of South India's most popular tourist attractions, Periyar National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary is centered around a lake built by British engineers in 1895 for irrigation and to provide water to the city of Madurai. Established in 1934, this beautiful park is home to numerous species of mammals, including a large free-roaming Indian elephant population, wild boar, otters, the lion-tailed macaque, and more than 20 Bengal tigers. Bird watching is a popular activity with frequent sightings of species such as darters, storks, kingfishers, hornbills, and racket-tailed drongos, along with many interesting varieties of butterflies.

Ahaa..... Very beautiful nature.nActually this is it.ud83dude1cud83dudc4cud83dudc4cnnBoating and sightseeing is for 385/- per head. And 100 for entry fee for lake.

A place that takes you through the beauty of western ghats through a boat ride & forest trekking. It is a different experience of travelling in the boat and seeing the wild animals (do not expect much as mostly you could see wild boars, deer and birds and if luck is there elephants and tiger). It is a very busy tourist spot however if you reach early it will be easy for you to get into the boats first. Accomodation will not be problem as lot of hotels are available.
