On 13th itself, after we
returned from Rajamalai National Park we were given little time to grab our
lunch and pack our luggage and once again bus was ready to ply for another 4
hours. This time we were going downward to Kumily.

Thekkady is located about 257
km from Trivandrum and near to Kerala-Tamilnadu border. The sanctuary over here
is famous for its dense evergreen, semi-evergreen, moist deciduous forests and
savanna grass lands. It is home to herds of elephants, sambar, tigers, gaur,
lion-tailed Macaques and Nilgiri Langurs.

Very useful post. Thanks for sharing. This tiny, quaint town is tucked between the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Buy some delectable and rare spices and experience the decadent village lifestyle. Walk, or better still, take a slow elephant ride through the town's large plantations. Check out all best hotels in Kumily also.
