Places to Visit in Periyar
The Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary is the reason for the village of Periyar’s fame in Kerala. One of Kerala’s most tranquil areas is the lovely village, which is surrounded by small, charming cottages among the spice plants. The little houses give Periyar a charm you won’t find anywhere else, as well as a sense of peace and coziness. The village’s cold environment eliminates the need for artificial cooling, and the only sounds it hears are the soothing rustling of the leaves and chirping birds. Some of the renowned places you can add to your Periyar sightseeing include the Periyar River, wildlife sanctuary, Mangala Devi Temple, and more.
