For an authentic experience, Periyar Tiger Reserve offers a Bullock Cart Discoveries program that allows tourists to explore the forest tracts and villages on bullock carts. These villages near the park are the amalgamation of different agricultural practices and various crops. They are a living example of agriculture and natural flora co-existing without hurting the environment. You can take a bullock cart ride in Thekkady and see the plantations of mangoes, tamarind, onions, sunflowers, jasmine, and vineyards.
Take the bullock cart ride and learn about nature from a novel perspective with the guides. Witness the melange of richly colored crops and natural forests. These bullock carts were once the primary means of transport and can now be experienced on this Thekkady bullock cart ride. The calm and dignified lifestyle of the villages of Thekkady and the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary can be truly explored not on motorcars but on these slow means of transport. It will not just take you to villages to explore the beauty, but also let you gain an insight into the culture of Thekkady.
