    Subhashish's 8 days trip to Thekkady

    The cab driver was constantly upselling perhaps because of his tied up commissions but his cab was clean and comfy and although he seemed unfriendly, he was very cooperative. Overall Cab experience was not bad. Hotels were fine too except for the houseboat. We had very high expectations here and we
    were sadly let down. There were no choice in food, options were very limited and the lunch was extremely spicy. The AC in the main deck was not working and we had to spend most of our time in a small enclosure with no views of the back waters. The AC was also suddenly turned off at 8 AM (an hour before our scheduled checkout).

    Read on to find out why our customers love us!

    Are tiger sightings frequent in Periyar National Park?

    Tiger sightings in Periyar are not all that frequent. However, the number of tigers has reached a healthy amount now and it is definitely worth taking a chance. Who knows, you might come face to face with one.

    Is it safe for children to go on the tiger trail?

    It is completely alright for children to be visit Periyar and it is quite safe as long as they are kept in check by their chaperones/parents. However, apart from the controlled area, it is hazardous for anyone to get separated from their group. 

    Is photography of the tigers allowed?

    Photography in case of a tiger sighting is permitted, however, as some sightings can be fleeting, it is a good idea to get as good a look as you can before whipping out the camera.
