Start your trip with a visit to the Jim Corbett National Park, known for its wide variety of flora and fauna. Take a safari tour to witness tigers, elephants, and other rare species in their natural habitat. You can also visit the Corbett Waterfall, a beautiful spot for a picnic and a refreshing dip.
Head further south to Thekkady, home to the Periyar National Park. Take a boat tour on Periyar Lake for breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and to spot wild animals near the water's edge. Other activities include a jungle trek, elephant safari, or a visit to a spice plantation.
End your trip in Kanyakumari where the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indian Ocean meet. Visit the Vivekananda Rock Memorial, a meditation spot located on a small island. Catch the sunrise or sunset at the southernmost tip of India, and explore the vibrant beaches and local markets.
If you have more time, consider adding a day trip to the beautiful hill station of Munnar, located approximately 3 hours from Thekkady. You can also subtract a day from Thekkady and spend more time exploring the vibrant city of Madurai, known for its temples and local food scene.
