    • One cannot talk about Thekkady without a mention of the scent of spice carried by the very breeze there. One may get a just of it walking the streets or the plantations. Cloves, nutmeg, pepper, cinnamon, and cardamom are a few of the spices cultivated in the region due to its cool climate and altitude.
    • Go boating on the Periyar! It is organised by the Kerala Tourism Department and the Forest Department. Calm and serene, float in bliss as you boat on the endless river.
