There are multiple activities for different kinds of people, right from treks, plantation visits, mountain hill top scenery, boating, staying inside forest camps, massages and much more.
A Visit to Thekkady should definitely include a visit to the Periyar Tiger reserve park. The trip here includes short 20 min journey into the reserve and a 90 minutes boating deep into the reserve/nature.

Yes, it is worth visiting Munnar while taking a trip to Thekkady as both the destination are located in the district of Idukki and offers varied sights of nature to the tourists. The abode of heaven is displayed to the travelers taking a trip through this route.
Without a doubt, boating is the most popular activity in Thekkady. Periyar Lake has an ideal environment for a great boating experience.
The first boat ride starts at 7:30 in the morning. It is a one-and-a-half-hour ride offering amazing views of the lake and the dense forests on the shore. You can even spot animals coming to shore and drinking water from the lake.
It is a spectacular sight. Elephant sighting is more frequent whereas spotting a tiger is extremely rare. Kerala Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC) and Kerala forest department operates the boats here.
The boat that we booked was Jala Jyothi. It is mandatory to wear a life jacket while onboard. So you do not have to worry about safety. Try to get seats on the upper deck for better views of the surroundings. They cost a little extra but the views are worth it.
The most outstanding feature of the park is the great variety of flora and fauna. It also has tropical evergreen forests with ample trees, all of which are rare and unique.
Unlike most other National Parks in India, the Periyar National Park is more than just a jeep safari tour.
Located in the heart of Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, the lake is known for exhibiting a unique experience where you can see inhabitants of the sanctuary being indulged in their daily rituals such as drinking, bathing, resting, and searching for food.
