A scenic view of tourist boat on a misty lake in India.
  • Boats typically only hold around eight passengers, which is why it’s advisable to book in advance, especially during high season—at least the day before, if not further ahead. Visitors can check for availability using an online booking form or inquire with a tour agency or their hotel.
  • Consider showing up early to board the sightseeing cruise to get the best spot, as there are limited outer spaces.
  • Keep in mind that there is no bathroom onboard the boat, so be sure to use the park’s facilities in advance.
  • If you prefer not to take a cruise, you can still enjoy Periyar’s lakeside scenery by booking a Jeep safari or guided walk.
  • Don’t openly eat snacks in the waiting area, and keep an eye on any shiny valuables, such as sunglasses or a cell phone—the park’s macaques have been known to snatch anything that catches their eye.
