Thekkady by Cab — Why It Works

Thekkady is home to the Periyar National Park, one of India's finest wildlife reserves. Elephants, tigers, bison, and the rare lion-tailed macaque roam these forests. The town is also surrounded by spice and tea plantations. Thekkady sits on the Kerala–Tamil Nadu border, making it a natural midpoint between Munnar and Madurai on longer South India road trips.
