    I tried the zipline but found it underwhelming and expensive for what it is.

    We had an amazing time at Wild Planet! The surroundings are absolutely stunning, the tea plantation is beautiful and beyond that lies thick jungle in every direction. The way into the resort is really beautiful and the roads are fine, once you reach the parking lot you'll be picked up and taken into the property through the jungle on a 4x4. They also have special lodging at the parking lot for drivers to stay. If you're coming from the Bangalore/Mysore direction you will drive through the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. If you go early in the morning you stand a good chance of seeing wild elephants or even tigers! We stayed at one of the valley view cabins, and found it comfortable and well equipped. It can get really hot inside during the day, but the A/C is good quality and can easily take care of it. The view from the balcony was incredible, I particularly liked sitting outside in the early morning and watching the mist slowly clear from the valley. The main lobby and restaurant are nicely decorated and the food buffet is quite good. It's almost all indian food and while it does vary day to day a bit it tends to be the same dishes. It could get monotonous after a while, but for a few days it's perfect. All members of the staff were kind to us and we felt really welcome. As far as activities go, we enjoyed the nature walks the most. Their guides are really knowledgeable and we saw all sorts of interesting wildlife and plants. The bird watching walk was a highlight for us. A couple other things to note: There is no mobile signal or WiFi anywhere except at the lobby/restaurant and the luxury cabins. I found this quite refreshing and it goes well with the general vibe of the place. Also, once it gets dark you're not allowed to walk around the property on your own (apparently snakes can be a problem) so you need to call reception and get a short jeep ride from the valley view cabins to the restaurant for dinner.

    This is one resort where you feel truly suspended in deep nature!

    The large patio doors on one side of the dining room was kept closed to avoid mischief from monkeys. This led to poor ventilation and at times unpleasant warmth in the dining areas. Netted protection could mitigate this problem, and other solutions could be found too. The bumpy ride in the facilities transportation from dining room to our villa was a bit of a challenge on a full stomach. We would suggest one sits around in the foyer long enough before proceeding to the room. All the same, multiple travel by hotel transportation to the dining facility is unpleasant. Smooth roads could partially mitigate this drawback. With the nature walks, a full explanation of trees and plants alongside the fauna would improve and widen the experience.

    The villas with the balcony and the super roomy outdoorsy toilet and bathroom were extremely spacious. The daily provision of fruit and other supplies was a fantastic touch. The fit and finish of the rooms were exceptional. Plug points were fit for multiple foreign plug types. The lighting within the room was done to luxury specifications. The bed and pillows were super comfy. The foyer around the reception were a great place to hang out and catch the breeze. The dining facility was well tastefully appointed. The buffets on offer were elaborate, and the live cooking station promptly provided the extras. The staff were uniformly helpful and obliging. The security staff made reassuring calls on residents in the late evenings especially at the far flung guest facilities in a very dispersed property. The multiple aphorisms put up on boards provided titillation as well as wisdom. The large well lit bridge across a valley and a few covered look out points add a nice touch to premises. The long drive into the resort is in itself a lovely feature, with mountain peaks, valleys and tea and coffee plantations providing plenty of interest. The cherry on the cake was their in house naturalist, Mahesh, and his retinue of staff, who took the experience of the interested residents to the next level. Extremely well informed, he could provide insights of a tropical forest trail, and also provide a bird spotting walk in ways that would provide information not commonly procured in India. Mahesh is a true eco warrior, and a great credit to this facility. As it happened, our enthusiasm spurred him on to lay out a deep jungle walk that will be etched in our minds for ever. He even managed photographs from the walk, one of which was framed and gifted to us as a memento! What a lovely touch it was!

    Travelling 7km each side off road experience to and fro to the resort is pretty stressful. I prefer they had car parking before the off road drive they they can take the guests in their own vehicle!

    The food wasn't great. It wasn't terrible either. Weekends can get crowded, so plan accordingly.

    Love the location, the scenery, the staff. Everything is so peaceful. We felt extremely relaxed since we were able to take a break without internet connectivity. We loved the informative rainforest walk.

    Loved the free upgrade. The activities were great. Mahesh, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and raised our experience to another level. The trek up a 60 degree elephant path was challenging. We enjoyed our stay.

    I really cannot think of anything.

    From the time we landed in the resort till the time we left there was not a dull moment. The place is exceptionally clean and everything about the place is stunning. The service is brilliant and the every staff needs a pat on their back as they are so well co-ordinated and are working brilliantly as a team. The rooms are so comfortable and well designed. Every little detail has been kept in mind. You guys truly understand what customer satisfaction is about. Thank you to everyone on your team.
