Thekkady Resort

Set in the cool, verdant hills of Kumily, Thekkady Resort offers a comfortable base for travelers keen to explore the wild beauty of Periyar and its surrounding landscapes. Its location at Thekkady Junction, opposite the RC Church, places you close to the heart of town while still offering a calm, restorative atmosphere. Days here often begin with fresh mountain air and soft morning light filtering through the trees. After breakfast at the in-house restaurant, you can set out for Periyar National Park, just a short drive away, where bamboo forests, cardamom-scented trails, and the famous lake safaris bring you close to elephants and an incredible range of birdlife. Adventure-minded guests can add bamboo rafting, nature walks, and border hiking to their itinerary, returning to the resort for a long, relaxing swim in the pool. Thoughtfully designed for both leisure and active explorers, the property features a refreshing swimming pool, a well-equipped gym, and ample parking, making it ideal for families, couples, and self-drive travelers. Reliable electricity and laundry services help longer-stay guests feel at home, while the on-site restaurant serves local Kerala flavors alongside popular Indian dishes. The resort’s excellent reachability is a real advantage. You’re close enough to the main road and town facilities to pick up essentials, book activities, or catch a bus, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peaceful evenings. After sunset, many guests head to YODHA Cultural Village to watch traditional Kalaripayattu martial arts and Kathakali performances, before walking or driving back for a quiet night’s rest. Nearby, Ottakathalamedu View Point rewards early risers with far-reaching valley vistas and cool breezes, while Elephant Junction Thekkady offers interactive elephant experiences in a supervised setting. Whether you’re here for wildlife, spice-scented hill walks, or simply to slow down in the Western Ghats, Thekkady Resort provides a warm, practical, and comfortable base for your stay.
