This was a partially disappointing day. The morning was disappointing but the evening was good.
In the morning, we headed for the walk to the Periyar Tiger Reserve (the walk should have been the giveaway). I was hoping it was a vehicle tour where the animals would be right next to the vehicle. There was no chance of seeing a tiger or leopard now.
Apparently, we saw the claw marks of tigers and leopards on trees. Yeah, maybe 100yrs ago, these animals were here, but not now.
Nonetheless, it was good to walk around somewhere with greenery and quiet.
In the afternoon, I strolled the few streets of Thekkady. The village/town did not have too much to offer tourists. There was an elephant camp... where tourists can have their pictures taken with elephants or ride them. I did not engage with this (not pay) as you could see the elephants were chained, and this was not in the best interest of the elephants.
In the evening we watched a martial arts show. This was good, especially the fire show component.
It was a mixed day.
