Waste of time and money
Dec 29, 2022 02:10 PM 1073 Views (via Mobile)

There is basically nothing to see in Thekkady. The biggest flop show is Periyar lake boat ride, you have to first take entry ticket by standing in the queue for hours. Then you are taken inside by bus and again you stand in line for hours to get tickets for the boat and there is no guarantee that you will get the tickets for the timing you have come for. The ride is okay but you don’t spot any animal. It’s not worth the waste of time and money. There is a tea estate which you can see on the way, no need of spending 250rs per head to see the factory, you can see the process online. The spice garden is a nice experience but if you go to their shop, you will burn a whole in your pocket. When you go to the spice and chocolate stores in the market, make sure you check the price of each item in every shop, specially the ones on the way from Sabrimala are cheats of the highest order. Kathakali dance show is a farce, better watch on TV. Food options are also less.

For accomodation there are many hotels namely Bijans Resort, Aranya Nivas, Chrissie's hotel, Greenwoods Resort etc.

Best Place to View Natural Beauty
Mar 30, 2016 05:51 PM 20104 Views

Hi Readers,


I a here to share my experience on Thekkady, a Tourist Place in India.


I go there on 3rd of March 2016, its a Two day Trip.It takes 5 Hours of Travel from my Home to Thekkady about 217 Km.I go there with My Family in My Car.Its totally a pleasant trip for us.


Travelling in car is good to view all places and capturing the scenic natural beauty.There we can find Elephants, so many Hills and Plantations of Spices.I captured all moments in My camera.


The must watch place in Thekkady was Periyar Forest, it is one of the wildlife reserves in India.We started trip on 5 am and reach there at 11:12 am, I booked Elephant Route Resort for stay because from this Hotel it takes only 50 meters to reach Elephant safari, Jungle Safari, Marital and Kathakali Show.I visit Kurishu mala and Kumily that is 4 kms away from Thekkady too. Kumily is the shopping city of thekkady to buy Spices and finally we went on to Vandiperiyar, that is the home for so many Tea Factories.


After visiting these Important places we check out from there on 5 Th of March 2016.


It gives a wonderful entertainment for all of us especially my Parents.


Am planning to go there on next month too and am recommending you all to go there at least one time to feel the natural Beauty.

Periyar Tiger Trail/Thekkady: Fraud Sajimon Salim
Mar 01, 2016 12:02 PM 21600 Views

When we had planned for the Kerela Trip we were excited about the famous Tiger Trail. We started searching for the relevant site for the tiger trail adventure. We saw https://periyartigertrail.in/ and got in touch with Mr. Sajimon Salim, of the Periyar Tiger trail. When we enquired it was mentioned that only 6 persons are allowed at a time. We were 9 people and thus decided not to go ahead with this trail. Then after we started getting calls from Mr. Sajimon aka Saji regarding the special arrangement which he can make to accommodate 9 person.


He mentioned that he will manage it internally and we will have to pay 100% advance at any cost to book the date. After some days in excitement we thought of booking the trail and paid 100% amount in two transactions in November 2015. We did not get any receipt in lieu of our payments. After following up we got the receipt(from FLIGHT SHOP THEKKADY) of payments on 25th Nov 2015 that 100% of the payment is made and booking is confirmed. Then after as the trip was in February 2016 first week, we were silent. As the trip approached, in order to know the basics of the trail we contacted Saji but in vain. Whenever he picked up he talked to us rudely only. Due to his behavior we go a jittery feeling and then we searched on internet and learnt that he is big fraud and have many complains at different forums.


List of Various complaints against Sajimon Salim:


1) complaintboard.in/complaints-reviews/www-per…


2) https://blacklistedtravelagents.com/


3) mouthshut.com/review/Thekkady-review-lssqpun…


4) https://tripadvisor.in/ShowTopic-g297636…


5) https://tripadvisor.at/ShowTopic-g297636…


Before the trip one of us dropped out due to personal reason .Before the start of trip we approached Saji for cancellation and return of Money for that person. Saji agreed over the email. Just before the start of trip, Saji emailed us that Tiger Trail is not possible due to some reason and he has arranged for the Jungle Camp and trekking in Gavi and said that differential money(less than what it should have been) will be paid back. Later we clarified that differential money and Saji agreed and confirmed the same via email. We followed up with him over phone, WhatsApp and email. Thus far we have not received the single penny but false commitments.


This person is behaving as if he is not afraid of any legal steps and will continue to do such frauds. He should be punished appropriately for cheating and misleading the tourists and sabotaging the name of God's own country.

Feb 24, 2016 06:24 PM 20870 Views

Tekkady is one of the most beautiful destinations in Kerala.Tekkadi is a hillstation and forest destination.Kumily to Thekkadi 12 km journey through reserve forest is mesmerizing.When we reach Thekkadi we can see big lake inside the reserve forest spanning thousands of hectre into the virgin forest .


Best part of tekkadi is the boat service .This trip through the lake is amazing /Wilderness at its best with lot of wild animals like elephants tigers dear crocodile etc  roaming and grazing on the shores of the lake .That view is absolute beauty.


Go there for Periyar wildlife Sanctuary
Jul 31, 2015 12:28 PM 30087 Views

In Thekkady there is a Periyar lake, go there with family, still now a best place I recommended to go with kids there and enjoy Wildlife of India, Animals from close and with full safety, so must come here this vacation. Do boating in Pariyar lake, take a guide with you and do enjoy wild animals in openly from boat, sully safe and very enjoyable ride.


This Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the best places where you can gets chances to spot an Elephant and other Wild animals like Tigers, gaur at very close quarter and also its safe.


Thekkady Junction is the central part of Periyar Sanctuary where you can find easily any hotel to stay, most of them provide boat rides.


Also you can take Bicycles at rent for exploring this awesome place.


or about 6 kilo meters there are local transport like Bus and Autos or if you are in large group you can hire Jeep too.


Must take binoculars with you, dry snacks, water for drinking, Camera, phone, it will be better to book your tickets in advance for boat riding as experienced.


Overall it will be a perfect family out going. If you comes here. Tickets are low so no need to spend extra penny.
