Artiphilia's video: Thekkady Elephant Ride Periyar Tiger Reserve

Thekkady | Elephant Ride | Periyar Tiger Reserve Driving through the pristine wilderness, we were heading towards Thekkady, which is around 91 km from Munnar. On our way to Kumily, we stopped at Periyar spice & ayurvedic garden. The entry to this garden is 100 rs per person and they showed us a variety of Ayurveda and medicinal plants. We also went for an Elephant ride, which was fun and a wonderful experience. The name of this elephant is Shridevi very obedient and with calm nature. We then took a jeep safari to the Pandikuzhi viewpoint. Where the plains and the paddy fields discrete from the mountains. Soon we were about to reach Kumily and we decided to have a lunch first. After finishing our lunch we check in to our hotel in Thekkady. The name of this hotel is Ambadi hotel, a heritage hotel situated in Ambadi Junction, Thekkady. This hotel is built in the likes of a traditional Kerala village with sustainable, eco-friendly architecture and organic interiors where woods are mostly used is designed by a Padma-Shree awardee. Later that evening we went to the Navarasa Kathakali centre & Kadathanandan Kalari Centre. And the cost is 200 per seat per show. After the show, we went to our hotel and tried some amazing foods. The next early morning we visited the Periyar tiger reserve. We catch the first bus and the ticket cost us 60 per person and the boating cost is 240 per person. If you are a photographer and love to shoot wildlife. Then this sanctuary is a must visit place. If you are lucky you can spot Tiger. But there’s a high chance to spot wild animals like bison, wild boar, deer and many birds. After the boat ride, we came back to our hotel and we had breakfast first. The ambience of the restaurant was nice and the creativity in every detail of the wooden work is amazing. So its time for us to leave Thekkady. And on our way for the last time, we had a glance at the vast tea plantations. And we stopped at a place called Pattumala near Peermade, where we enjoyed a walk in the tea garden. This place also features a zip line amidst of tea plantation. After all the fun we proceeded towards Kottayam. And on our way, we visited the last waterfall of our journey called Valanjamkanam waterfall. Soon after reaching Kottayam we went to a restaurant where we had a meal consisting of a variety of traditional vegetarian dishes served on a banana leaf. Then we took the train to Trivandrum. ~~ ▶ Check out my gear on Kit: https://kit.com/Artiphilia **Camera and Equipment I use** (Cheapest and best equipment to create and edit videos) **How I record Video** GoPro Hero5 Black: http://amzn.to/2xFFSJm SJCAM Action camera: http://amzn.to/2zla9l1 Canon EOS 1300D: http://amzn.to/2yUdiW3 One Plus 6: https://amzn.to/2vYkbo8 **Lenses I use** Canon 50mm F/1.8 Lense: http://amzn.to/2zTyUSh Canon 18-55mm Lense: http://amzn.to/2xvBsVm Canon 55-250mm Lense: http://amzn.to/2zWaE1M **Tripods and Stabilizers** DJI Osmo Mobile 2: https://amzn.to/2KJGOBW Jobby Gorillapod: http://amzn.to/2zWhIvp Tripod: https://amzn.to/2kGNExx Flycam SteadyCam: http://amzn.to/2zW3QBi Timelapse Stabilizer: https://amzn.to/2KWHc1x GoPro Chest Mount: https://amzn.to/2szN2xk GoPro Shoulder Mount: https://amzn.to/2Hd8tto **How I record my voice** Lavalier Microphone: http://amzn.to/2A2EH8f **Storage** Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB: http://amzn.to/2zVTMZe Micro SD 32GB: http://amzn.to/2A4cMVC SDHC 32GB: http://amzn.to/2xFyE7O **Post Processing** Operating System "Windows 10 Pro": http://amzn.to/2z675bI Software: Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects MB "ASRock 970": http://amzn.to/2hpMZQ0 CPU "AMD FX 8350 Black edition": http://amzn.to/2z7A4f2 GPU "Zotac 1060 6GB": http://amzn.to/2A2Pm2S HDD "Seagate 2TB SATA": http://amzn.to/2z681ge SSD "Kingston 120 GB": http://amzn.to/2iPedD9 RAM "GSkill 2x8 GB": http://amzn.to/2A1ryfA Mouse & Keyboard "Dell KM117": http://amzn.to/2zkJyV5 Cabinet "Antec": http://amzn.to/2A3HAWy Monitor "Acer 21.5 inch": http://amzn.to/2HlO5Xa PSU "Antec 500W": http://amzn.to/2KXJlJo UPS "1100VA": http://amzn.to/2L2uXjc Disclosure: The links go to Amazon.
