Best time to visit Thekkady
Thekkady’s best weather runs from October to February when temperatures range between 15°C and 25°C. These cooler months work well for wildlife safaris, as animals gather near water bodies and migratory birds arrive at Periyar Lake.
Summer months from March to May bring warmer weather up to 36°C, but they’re excellent for wildlife spotting. Animals come to the lake more frequently to drink, increasing your chances of sightings during boat rides.
Monsoon season from June to September brings heavy rainfall and lush greenery to the forests. Some activities may be limited, but the off-season offers lower hotel rates and fewer crowds for travelers who don’t mind the rain.
