The lift and the 24 hour front desk matter if you arrive late or leave early for the reserve.
Where it sits
The address is Near Entrance Gate, outside Kattappana, in the wider Idukki district, South Kerala. Kattappana is a town in Idukki district, and the property is 18.7 km from the centre of Kattappana. The destination is Thekkady, and the hotel is 2.2 km from Thekkady, about 25 minutes on foot.
Thekkady is the 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. Cardamom country begins at the edge of the plantation belt behind it. The destination altitude is 900 to 1,200 m.
Who it suits
This hotel suits travellers who want to be close to the reserve gate and are happy to walk the final 2.2 km from Thekkady, about 25 minutes on foot, rather than stay in the town itself. The facilities, including the pool and restaurant, support a stay of a few nights. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the door into the visitor centre or the boat jetty, or who needs everything within walking distance.
Planning a stay
Come between October and March for wildlife around the lake, when the reserve is at its most active. The reserve stays open through the monsoon. Ranger-led walks and the early boat are the two ways to see the lake, and they are booked at the visitor centre. Spice smallholdings on the road up are working farms, not demonstration gardens.
