Bicycles are the most eco-friendly and efficient way to explore less traveled and pristine areas around any tourist destination. At Thattekad we organize a variety of local cycling programs that take you around local attractions, village life, plantations, and pristine nature. You can select or tailor a trip according to your physical and cycling capabilities. These small trips along the unpaved roads, through forests and villages with greenery and fresh air around you will be a refreshing experience for your mind and body.

Paddle on the beautiful Periyar, the longest river in Kerala. At Thattekad, Periyar is calm and wide, thanks to the Bhootattankettu dam downstream. Evergreen Thattekad bird sanctuary forest on one side and rubber plantations on the other bank make this a picture-perfect location with unpolluted water and a serene environment. One can use a kayak or pedal boat to explore the lagoons spread across the forest. Motorboats are available for small groups to cruise along the main river.
