April 2001 - Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary By Boat

A boat from which we watched wildlife and a swimming pool from which we watched monkeys

Maggie amidst the roots of a big tree The Sanctuary contains about 35 tigers, generally hidden, and this artificial lake made by the British. If it weren't for our noisy boat, it would have been very quiet We managed to see elephants, otters, and wild boars.
