Hotels in Periyar National Park, India

Periyar National Park, nestled in Kerala's Western Ghats, is famous for its wild elephants and Bengal tigers roaming the evergreen forests. The climate is warm year-round, with the dry winter from October to February offering the best chances to spot wildlife on a boat safari across Periyar Lake, while the monsoon months from June to September bring lush greenery perfect for trekking and visiting nearby spice plantations. If you visit during the hot summer (March to May), early morning walks at dawn can still reward you with sights of elephants bathing along the lake's edge.
