    No toilet paper available. We had to pay 1 euro per roll for it. There were not enough towels for everybody also. It's 15 min walking from the centre.

    It was close to the reserve and we could see a couple of animals like monkeys and deers. At the end we were very kindly offered some jackfruit and it was tasty 😁

    We stayed for only two nights and came for a hiking and rafting tour in Periyar tiger reserve but saw Malabar giant squirrels, samba deer, and lots of different monkeys from our balcony at the homestay … the hosts are super lovely, friendly and helpful, they supported us with car transfer and activities. We felt very welcomed and well taken care of. Their dog max is a real sweetheart as well. Rooms are very tidy and the shared kitchen and dining area provides everything you basically need. Great location for nature lovers, we’d definitely consider coming back again! Above and beyond our expectations!

    Seeing an animal is purely by luck

    There is no cooking facility although it is a homestay. The house owner forced me to do all his paperwork for about first 30 minutes, although other operators do themselves.

    The property is next to the forest. There may be an opportunity to see animals in night, if we are lucky. However, animal movements are unpredictable, and it is purely by luck. I had a high expectation when I paid the premium price for this facility, but later I have realised that seeing an animal in a small piece of land is very rare.

    Only thing is the breakfast, they charged Rs.150 but provided only idly with chutni which can be better if provide one more item like poori or puttu. It is small thing other wise their hospitality is exceptional.

    The host received us very friendly and they treated as their own relatives. The location is very beautiful and unique and we all are admired. Rooms are very clean and their conversation with us like relatives. The balcony is the highlight which we watched the jungle during the night times and spotted some wild animals which was unforgettable. We all are well satisfied and like to book again.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    The breakfast was home made, fresh using local ingrediants, simple but tasty. The location was perfect, quite away from the busy town on the edge of the wildlife reserve, opportunities to see local wildlife. The host were super friendly and very keen to point out sightings of animals whem they showed up. Balacony overlooked the reserve

    Fabulous location right smack bang on the edge of Periyar Tiger Reserve. We saw black monkeys, giant squirrel and wild boar from the balcony. Its a few minutes walk to town and launch points / booking offices for activities inside the park.
