Happy World Elephant Day! 🐘

Take a scenic four-hour drive from Cochin to Periyar National Park, where you can watch herds of elephants splashing in Periyar Lake and monkeys swinging from the trees.

Periyar is one of the few national parks open during the monsoon, and many say the rains are the best time to visit.
