PERIYAR, KERALA

Periyar National Park (pictured below) is located in Thekkady, Kerala. It is one of the most unique Parks in the world, as its amazing landscapes were formed when a reservoir was created here. The most popular way to explore the Park is by mechanical boat rides. On the cruise, one will surely see a herd of elephants walking together. Their languid walk is almost hypnotic. The aww-inspiring sight of adorable calves playfully running about is forever etched in one’s mind.

Rajaji National Park in Dehradun is one of India’s most underrated Parks. The Park is filled with elephants, leopards and more. In fact, there are so many elephants here that at night they often clog the roads, while crossing. Most drivers will refuse to cross the Park after dark.
