PERIYAR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY is 900m above sea level and said to offer the visitor the best chance to see wild elephant in the whole of India. The sanctuary is part of Project Tiger, but unfortunately these animals are rarely seen here.

However, it is excellent for birds and there is also a good chance of seeing wild boar, Gaur bison, Sambar deer, Nilgiri langur, macaque monkey, otter, and the Malabar giant squirrel. Thekkady is the small town just outside the Park gates and it is here that the majority of hotels are located.
