"My boyfriend and I went there as part of our Kerala trip. We both love elephants and it was really nice to be able to get that close to them, and to do a ride, bath, shower and feeding. It is a very complete package, which left us with great feelings. We enjoyed more than ever. Carers share a good r..."elationship with the elephant, they were always laughing and playing with her. The location is also really nice, since we could do the ride in the forest and cardamon plantations, very quiet, peaceful, and simply beautiful. We visited off season and it was not crowded at all. Don't know about the other places which offer the same kind of services, but we don't think it could be better than in elephant junction. Price is also reasonable.

"You can travel in periyar tiger reserve in boat(easy option) or hire guide to travel inside the forest. Going in boat you have to go early for tickets and if you lucky you will find lot of wild elephant at the side of lack playing with mud or drinking water. For people who having bird watching hobb..."y this place worth to visit. Travelling in boat itself is relaxing experience. I prefer to stay in KTDC hotel inside the reserve itself.

"Boat journey in Periyar lake organised by Forest Department takes you to a different world - the world of animals. We could spot elephants, deer, wild buffalo, wild pigs and a few birds during our 1530 boat ride. Once in the middle of lake, you are in animal kingdom where human beings are mere spect..."ators. The boat ride is a must for every tourist who visits Thekkady.
During peak season (December to May) there are long ques for boat tickets. If possible, ask for upper deck seats. At the time of booking, you must show your forest entry ticket (purchased at check point on entrance); else tickets will not be issued. Each seat is having a life jacket. In case one is missing ask for it before the boat starts.
After purchasing tickets, take binoculars on rent from the in information department located next to ticket counter. Rent is Rs 70 and deposit in cash Rs 1000. Binoculars will come handy in close up view of animals on the banks of lake.
