Wildlife viewing is part of the itinerary with visits to Periyar and Eravikulam; sightings (elephants, Nilgiri tahr, birds) are common but never guaranteed.
The tour includes one night on a traditional houseboat in Alleppey with meals; expect basic but comfortable cabin accommodation and slower pace on the water.
Dress modestly: cover shoulders and knees, remove shoes where required, and follow any local signage or guide directions.
