The Periyar National Park has a long history. In the 12th century it had a dam which dramatically changed the landscape. During 18th and 19th centuries it was the hunting ground of the Travancore Kings. In 1982 it got the status of a wildlife sanctuary. Now it is a world of thrilling adventures and habitat of wild species of God’s Own Country.
