Welcome to the Periyar River Lodge Website |
 |
| |
|
| Situated
on the lush green banks of the river
Periyar, adjoining the Thattekad Bird
Sanctuary in Kerala, the Periyar River
Lodge is an ideal getaway for nature
lovers, bird watchers or just about
anyone who needs a break from the humdrum
of urban life. |

 |
| |
| Designed
to synchronize with the ethnicity and traditional
style of Kerala architecture, this serene
retreat, built largely of teak wood, offers
spacious guestrooms with a large comfortable
lounge as well as sunlit verandahs that present
an unhindered view of the river and the forest
beyond on the opposite bank. Shown below is
the view of the Periyar River in front of
the Lodge. |

As Kerala’s largest and longest river,
the Periyar is the state’s source for
not just drinking water and hydroelectric
power, but an inspiration for many a poet
and writer.
The Thattekad or Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary,
named after the world-renowned ornithologist,
the late Dr. Salim Ali (1896-1987), is just
over one and a half hours drive from the port
city of Cochin(60 Kms). Dr Ali, often called
the "Birdman of India," described
Thattekad as the “birders paradise”
with its teak, mahogany and fruit-bearing
trees that are home to nearly 270 species
of birds. Located
in the midst of such tranquillity, we at
the Periyar River Lodge hope to impart to
our guests an unforgettable experience with
this impressive connection with nature and
untainted vision of rural Kerala with our
personalized and high standards of service. |
