Here is briefing about the best place for two days picnic point. Thekkady,the major attraction is the Lake,you can go for one and a half hour boating trip. It is very tranquilizing,you can enjoy the freshness on the atmosphere,breath full of oxygen gives you more energy. Less polluted area. During the trip you can see the wild animals along the banks of the lake,they may came for drinking water. These days during the April and May the climate is bit warm than the normal. It is good to see the animals - chances are more as they are coming often to the lake for drinking water from inside the deep forest. You can reach Thekkady by three roots. From Kothamangalam or Thodupuzha or Kottayam. From there you have to reach Kattapana it is a Municipal town. From there you go to Kumaly. You can stay there,hotels cost about Rs 1000 to 5500 are available depending on your need. Nice food and weather. The cabs and auto rickshaw are available for the transport they are charging reasonable.
