The most famous forest reserve of Kerala has much more to offer than wildlife sighting and a ferry ride on the lake. The Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary offers the delightful experience of going bamboo rafting over the amber-hued Periyar Lake, which is undoubtedly one of the top things to do in Kerala, India for those looking for an offbeat experience. The ride shall take you through the sanctuary’s wilderness and give you a chance to have an up-close and personal encounter with Kerala’s flora and fauna, coupled with a little bit of hiking in the dense forest. You have a fair chance of spotting tigers and elephants at a close distance via the bamboo ride and the trek.
