Where the resort sits
The resort is in Kumily, outside Kattappana, in the wider Idukki district. Kattappana is a town in Idukki district, and the property lies 14.8 km from the centre of Kattappana. The address places it in South Kerala, inland, within reach of the spice smallholdings and the reserve.
Thekkady is the destination, a wildlife town at the gate of Periyar, a reserve built around a lake made by a dam in 1895 where the drowned forest still stands in the water. Coffee Routes Resort is 6.3 km from Thekkady. The destination sits at 900 to 1,200 m, and cardamom country begins at the edge of the plantation belt behind it.
Who it suits and who it does not
Coffee Routes Resort suits families and groups who want a full set of facilities, including a pool, restaurant, playground and games room, within easy reach of Thekkady. It does not suit anyone seeking a small, remote plantation stay or a property with no organised leisure. The distance from Kattappana centre also means a car or hired vehicle is useful for errands beyond the resort.
Planning a stay
October to March is the season for wildlife around the lake, and the reserve stays open through the monsoon. The property sits 6.3 km from Thekkady, so days can be built around the reserve and the spice smallholdings on the road up. The Tamil Nadu border is minutes away, so the food changes within a few kilometres. Book family rooms early if travelling in the October to March window.
