I stayed in Edapalaya in Ranger Wood with my family. This place is exotic. Our balcony opened to a pond in the jungle. Large spacious rooms, well furnished, private. They have a nice swimming pool, good food, nice people...the manager (tall guy...forgot ur name sir) was very accomodative. Just a word of caution....since u r close to the forests..ur bathroom...

Our 1-day stay at Thekkady wouldn't have been so endearing had it not been for this place. The hotel is aptly named Ranger Wood Nature Castle, with its wooden structures and interiors and located at a walkable distance from the Periyar Nature Reserve. Ours was a palatial wild view room with a calm serene view of the wild life from... More

We had stayed 1 night here. Located within a few steps from the Periyar nature reserve gate, this is ideally suited. Rooms: - The rooms had a "wild view" .. meaning the balcony opened out to some forest/marshy grasslands. Don't expect to see any "wildlife" though! - The room was large enough and the decor was splendid. - A small... More

We had to spend one night in this hotel as it was booked in our package from paradies tours, but our overall experience was not good. Rooms are big but we were been given room 101 which is right opposite to the restuarant which means if you are a couple there is no privacy as all the doors, windows are... More

This hotel is right on the edge of the reserve and is the perfect place to watch the wildlife. The staff are really pleasant and helpful but more importantly the balconies at the back of the hotel are suspended high over the open fields, allowing birds eye views of birdlife, water buffalo and wild deer. The rooms are really nicely... More

The room was so big that you could play badminton inside the room. But it did not provide hairdyer and kettle. Once I stepped in the balcony, a wide wild view caught my attention. Greenery, buffalo and birds looked like a scenic picture. The disappointing thing was the restaurant. They did not provide varieties and the food did not taste... More
