മുളം ചങ്ങാടത്തിൽ തേക്കടി തടാകത്തിൽ | Bamboo Rafting in Thekkady | Trekking & Rafting in Periyar Lake

In this video, I take you through one of the most unique eco-tourism programmes in Kerala — Bamboo Rafting in Thekkady’s Periyar Tiger Reserve. This half-day adventure combines an exciting forest trek with a peaceful ride on bamboo rafts across the scenic Thekkady Lake.
The journey begins with a guided trek through the dense evergreen forests of the reserve. Walking under the canopy of towering trees, I experienced the sights and sounds of pure wilderness. The forest trails revealed a world of butterflies, birds, and, if you are lucky, elephants, sambar deer, and other fascinating wildlife.

After the trek, the adventure continued as I boarded a bamboo raft, gliding silently across the tranquil waters of Periyar Lake. Surrounded by lush hills and untouched greenery, the calmness of rafting gave me a deeper connection with nature. The only sounds were the rhythm of the water and the calls of birds echoing through the forest.

This programme is led by trained guides from the Periyar Tiger Reserve, ensuring both safety and valuable insights into the ecosystem. It is a perfect activity for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to escape the noise of city life.
