Elephant ride is a very
interesting activity, conducted in Thekkady. Elephants are and will always be a
fantasy to people. One can enjoy a ride on an elephant through a spice
plantation where a light gentle breeze will refresh you with the mild scented
air.
Elephants are a common
sight on our roads and temples and are still used in forestry operations. They
are an ideal option to explore some inaccessible places in the jungles.
Elephant safari helps the visitor to travel through such difficult terrains
where even jeeps can't venture! Most of all, an elephant ride in the Periyar
wildlife sanctuary gets you up close and personal with these majestic animals.
Riding an elephant takes
you back to the royal era, when only the Kings used to ride on these majestic
creatures. Elephant Safari in thekkady is equipped with a howdah, a large seat on which
they and the visitors sit, and with an umbrella over the riders head. The
elephant moves slowly and steadily, that's why this type of safari is ideal in
and around the wild regions, where riding the elephant can give you an easy
access for viewing the unknown wildlife.
Usually this activity
lasts from 30min to 1hr and will be accompanied by guards. At a time only two
tourists can take the ride. During your ride, you can watch the wild elephants
taking bath in the water bodies. If you are interested in photography, then you
can easily take pictures of the wildlife while riding and cherish them as
souvenirs of your fantastic journey into the forest.
