Did we say we'll make Periyar simple? That's what we've done, from the ground up. We took 10 of the most spacious rooms around and filled them with all the comforts of home. Then, we took it all and placed it in a simple stone and exposed brick structure that uses natural materials everywhere. No two rooms at The Wildernest are the same. And you can choose from two types: Terraced rooms: With spacious, open sit-outs upstairs. Secret Gardens: With an intimate little garden that offers total privacy and seclusion. Frankly, there's not too much fuss at The Wildernest. Comfortable beds, clean sheets and a king sized breakfast each morning. The rest of the experience is, naturally, Periyar itself. Can you ask for anything more? You can? Well, that's where Jude comes in... About Wildernest   more images Modern spacious bathrooms, cable TV and telephones are some of the conveniences on hand.

A word about people. Need an extra pillow? Want an early breakfast because you're out trekking tomorrow? What about a packed snack? Leave it to us. Looking after your needs at The Wildernest is a small but efficient six-person team. And hovering around like a mother hen is Jude. We suppose you could call him our guest relations officer. Jude knows Thekkady and Periyar like the back of his hand. And why shouldn't he? He's spent most of his 50 odd years here. Jude is the man who'll tell you the history of the land. Or where to get a dinner that's exactly to your taste. Want to go shopping for souvenirs? Jude may well walk you down, if he's not too busy that is. You see, The Wildernest is a family. And we run it like one.
