South India Road Trip | Day 8 | Kochi to Thekkady | EP 9

From Coastal Kerala to the Wild Heart of Periyar Our road trip from Kochi to Thekkady (Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary) is a beautiful transition from Kerala’s lively coastal plains to the misty, forested high ranges of the Western Ghats. Leaving behind the backwaters and city buzz of Kochi, the drive gradually opens into lush countryside, rubber plantations, spice gardens, and winding hill roads. As we climb higher, the air turns cooler and fresher. The scenery changes with every turn—tea estates, cardamom hills, dense forests, and occasional waterfalls welcome us into the Periyar region. The ghat sections are smooth yet thrilling, offering panoramic valley views and peaceful stretches perfect for slow, scenic driving. Approaching Thekkady, the forest begins to dominate the landscape. Tall trees, bamboo groves, and wildlife signboards signal that we are entering one of South India’s most iconic protected areas—Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. This journey is not just a drive; it’s a gradual immersion into nature, where the road itself sets the mood for the wilderness experience ahead. The Kochi to Thekkady road trip is calm, scenic, and soul-refreshing, making it one of the most enjoyable hill drives in Kerala. #KochiToThekkady #PeriyarWildlifeSanctuary #PeriyarNationalPark #KeralaRoadTrip #WesternGhatsDrive #IntoTheWild #HillDrive #ScenicDrive #ForestRoads #NatureLovers #WildlifeJourney #RoadTripIndia #SouthIndiaRoadTrip #TravelVlogIndia #ExploreKerala #HiddenKerala #safarnjoy
