Periyar River Lodge

Located on the picturesque banks of one of India's perennial rivers, the Periyar, the Periyar River Lodge provides a serene and natural setting for guests to immerse themselves in the local environment. Nestled amidst lush greenery, this charming lodge offers a variety of activities that cater to both adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Bamboo rafting on the Periyar River is an exhilarating experience, allowing visitors to navigate through the calm yet flowing waters while enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. For those seeking a more tranquil journey, country boat rides offer a leisurely way to explore the river's gentle currents and observe the local flora and fauna from a different perspective. Short forest treks are another highlight at Periyar River Lodge, providing an opportunity for guests to venture into the dense yet well-maintained trails that wind through the nearby forests. These treks not only offer a chance to connect with nature but also provide insights into the rich biodiversity of the region. Plantation visits are arranged to give visitors a deeper understanding of the local agricultural practices and the cultivation of cash crops such as tea, coffee, and cardamom. The experience includes guided tours through the plantations, where guests can learn about the harvesting process and the traditional methods used in processing these valuable commodities. Lastly, for those who prefer a more active form of exploration, cycling is available to cover longer distances or to reach remote areas that are not easily accessible by other means. This activity allows visitors to explore the surrounding countryside at their own pace, taking in the scenic beauty and perhaps even encountering some of the wildlife that calls this region home. The Periyar River Lodge ensures that each activity is conducted with safety and environmental responsibility in mind, providing a memorable and enriching experience for all guests.
