    The flush for the specific room was a little slow - but usable.

    Gopa Varma connected on whatsapp before we checked in and was very kind to provide a set of things we could do both at the retreat and on the way to the retreat - this was super helpful in planning our trip. The resort staff and Shenoj were very accommodating in checking us in late, making sure we have breakfast/ dinner based on our site seeing schedule - the meals were kid friendly, etc... They also suggested things we could do and arranged for the night safari where we saw elephants. Our kids really loved the place.

    This place is not just a resort. It’s a calm, green paradise. Surrounded by nature, fresh air, and the sound of birds, I felt completely relaxed. Every morning, I woke up to beautiful views, enjoyed hot tea in the rain, and felt connected to the nature around me. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the food was delicious, and the staff were so kind and friendly. They made me feel like family. Every moment was peaceful and filled with joy. A deep feeling of peace that stayed in my heart Kerala is called “God’s Own Country,” and now I know why.

    The room was not as big as shown in the photos. I would suggest, turn the AC on an hour before the guest checks in to the tree house, it was like a microwave when we checked in.

    The breakfast was nice; however, I would suggest you have some instant coffee around. The coffee was not nice at all. The staff were very courteous and accommodating.

    We had an amazing stay at this beautiful resort surrounded by lush greenery and tranquil nature. The warm hospitality of the staff made the experience even more memorable. The resort’s amenities are very good - swimming pool, spacious rooms and nice vegetarian food too. We even upgraded our stay to the Tree house for one night and it was a mind blowing experience. With Jacuzi and great views amidst nature, this is one of a kind. The Tholpetty wildlife sanctuary and Kuruvadeep are quite nearby and had a great time there. We even had a great luck in spotting a Tiger @ Nagarhole wildlife reserve when passing out. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway amidst nature!

    This is a place where one can stay comfortably amidst nature and silence. The entire team was extremely welcoming, warm, and friendly. The rooms were clean, and the beds were suitable for a good night's sleep. The swimming pool was beautiful and well-maintained, and the food was delicious; Chef Prameela and her team were fantastic. Gopa and Shyju were always willing to assist. The early morning walk with Gopa was unforgettable, and his efforts to preserve the surrounding forest are invaluable.

    By Indian standards, it was a rather expensive resort where expectations were not met in some spots.

    Remote location in the middle of the jungle. Super nature all around. Beautifully maintained pool. Very nice staff. Super tasty food cooked fresh every day. Dedicated chef. The boat trip on the local river was also very impressive. The tree house is beautifully furnished and in a fantastic romantic location surrounded by greenery. You have absolute peace and quiet. Only the sounds of the jungle can be heard.

    I had the most incredible stay at Pugmarks Jungle Lodge in Wayanad, and it was truly a highlight of my travel experiences. Surrounded by the beauty of nature. The accommodations were charming and comfortable, perfectly blending rustic charm with modern amenities. I stayed in the newly built tree house, which offered stunning views of the surrounding forest. What made our stay truly exceptional was the owner Mr.Gopa Varma, who went out of his way to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. He personally took us on a night safari and a morning walk, sharing his deep knowledge and passion for the local wildlife and environment. During the walk, I was lucky enough to spot wild elephants—a moment that I will cherish forever! His enthusiasm and dedication to providing a meaningful experience were truly inspiring. The activities at the lodge are perfect for both adventure seekers and nature lovers. From thrilling wildlife safaris to peaceful nature walks, every activity is curated to connect you with the stunning wilderness of Wayanad. The food was another highlight—homemade, delicious, and tailored to different tastes. The warm hospitality, combined with the unique opportunity to explore nature up close, makes Pugmarks Jungle Lodge a must-visit destination. If you’re looking for a place where adventure meets tranquility and where the hosts treat you like family, this is it. I can’t wait to return and relive these amazing moments.

    The Cedar suite is completely of wood so there were few wood bugs here and there.

    The location was very calm and peaceful. Swimming pool was fantastic. It was very clean and neat. We enjoyed a lot in the pool. Rooms were neat and clean. The Cedar suite had a fireplace which was a warm and comfortable experience. Dinner and breakfast was decent. The staffs and the owner Mr. Verma was super nice and the morning walk with him was refreshing. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

    Nothing to dislike.

    The place is situated in the midst of Jungle. You can spot wild animals (mainly elephants, deer n bisons) often near the resort. Mr. Gopa Verma was an excellent host, very friendly, welcoming n caters to needs. He also takes extra effort n suggests nice places for sightseeing. The staffs were very helpful n polite. The food was great, they cook as per our needs. The room was spacious with fire place inside the room. Bathroom was clean n well maintained. Totally a place worth for couples & Family.

    The way up to the room is very rocky. It has to be cemented so it'll not difficult to bring the luggage up. The lights are all dim, since it's forest area, there should be a bright light available in each room.

    The pool is amazing, very clean. Most likely the ambience is perfect. I love seeing the monkeys playing comfortably around the property.
