What if we tell you that there is more to Thekkady than what is apparent? Thekkady located in the highlands of Kerala is one among the rare 25 Biodiversity hotspots in the world, and one among the two in India after the Eastern Himalayas. It is home to an abundance of flora and fauna, and quite a few that are rare and endangered species as well.
Join us on this story to get an up-close acquaintance with the common plants, the scurrying beetles and the industrious little ants found here. But then, we do not leave out our fellow humans from this story either; we will give you a glimpse into how the hopes and aspirations of many a family are pinned on the humble quantity of spices grown in their backyard garden; allow us to take you to yet another family whose very existence is dependent on cultivating spices. On this program, you can see how the delicate balance between us humans and other species of flora and fauna of the Periyar biodiversity is maintained.
You will get to interact with the local farmers to understand their ways of life and how spices play a vital role in their economy; and how they strive to achieve a balance between being an agrarian community and conserving nature by putting ecologically sustainable practices into farming. Get a whiff of the Periyar Bouquet, a bouquet made from the unique experiences of this region, involving local families and people.
Clients may want to spend more time while on our tours, which we would appreciate, but please do anticipate the same and make sure you leave enough time for that and clients do not have to rush back to join some other program scheduled by you
