    Loved the shape of the spacious rooms, loved the staircase to the balcony, loved that we could sit and watch monkeys in the trees by the balcony and watch them jump onto the roof of our room. And it was peaceful.

Defining the eastern border of the Indian state of Kerala are the fabled Cardamom Hills. In the heart of this mountain fastness is a silent tropic wilderness, the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. To experience Periyar is to know freedom. And The Wildernest is created to give you the freedom to experience it, your way. We make Periyar special.Because we keep it simple. Perched on our logotype is the Great Pied Hornbill, (Buceros Bicornis Linnaeus) the state bird of Kerala. In Malayalam, it's called, simply, 'Vezhambal'.
Periyar is 925 sq. km of rugged wilderness. The forests are tropical, a mixture of deciduous, semi-evergreen, and evergreen, relieved by patches of grassland. This breathtaking variety is echoed in the fauna too. You’ll find spectacular herds of wild elephant roaming free, along with astonishingly diverse species of primates, birds and tropical woodland animals. By the way, there’s a reason why your guides know the wildlife so well. They used to poach it. Until the government convinced them to go straight, that is. So rest assured, you’re in the hands of experts!
