This place is a wildlife sanctuary. The sanctuary is an island within the Periyar lake. If u take the boat ride takes u around the island, u can see the animals when they come to drink water at the lake. But, this works only in summer. Coz, during the rains (like when we went), the animals are happy drinking from the puddles within the island. Since we weren't at the right time, all we could do was to watch elephants, deer and wild boars at a great distance through binoculars. However, the island had its own independent beauty. And the birds (whose species names i am not aware of, nor interested in!), which are supposedly rare (but beautiful anyway) were sitting on tree stumps protruding from within the lake.This was taken around a year ago, in a fun trip which i went with college-mates to Thekkadi and Munnar
