What a special place this is. The lodge facilities are first-class, we have wanted for nothing and felt at home the whole time. The food is superb. You say in your brochure ‘a limited menu’ – well, it may have fewer dishes than some but it is in no way limited in forms of quality, taste, presentation –a all the things that matter. The feeling of being close to nature is palpable. The crickets and frogs, the fireflies, myriad array of birds and the far off sound of elephants. It was a pity that we could not visit the waterfalls due to road conditions but it gives an excuse to come again!! Our visit to thattekad Bird sanctuary was a great delight – Girish is an excellent and passionate guide. I will definitely be including Periyar River Lodge on the itinerary of my clients in the future.
