My Journey Through Photography

Moonupeedika beach is not a well-trodden area for tourists, but its tranquility stands out from other similar places. It’s a beautiful beach located at a distance of 3 km from the nearest small town Moonnupeedika in Thrissur district, Kerala. I don’t think it’s a place highlighted by Kerala tourism department. But sometimes, it’s a very good idea to find out such places as it’s not over crowded. If you are looking for a clam and peaceful day out in the evening, this is an ideal location to extricate from the life hurdles.

Amidst thick dense forest, picturesque lake and lush green hillocks, Thekkady wild life sanctuary is one of the prominent tourist locations in Kerala, India. Also known as Periyar wildlife reserve, It’s situated at a distance of 2-3 km from the nearest town Kumily. The controversial Mullapperiyar dam, which is built across the Periyar River, forms an artificial lake that serves a rich biodiversity of endangered flora and fauna. It was declared a tiger reserve in 1978. All in all, it’s home to herds of elephants, sambar deer, tiger, langur and gaur.

Thekkady is a proud tourist area for Kerala tourism, as it showcases the variety of specialties as mentioned.  Although it’s a dreamland of honeymoon seekers, it’s equally drawn by youth and family people.  Moreover, it’s a paradise for nature lovers. The wildlife reserve offers a range of activities like boating, nature walk (kind of trek) and bamboo rafting.  Even though it’s a destination for all season, the best time to visit is during winter as the place can be explored well in the misty weather.
