Accomodation in Thekkady - Rangerwood Nature Castle


Rangerwood Nature Castle is located bang outside the Periyar Tiger Reserve entrance gate. Besides the hotel. they’ve also got on lease an adjacent multi-storeyed building which acts as an annexe to the main hotel and offers the same service.

You will get a really stunning view from the Wild View Nature room on the first floor as the hotel directly overlooks the back of the Periyar Tiger Reserve. 



The hotel does not provide separate beds, but a single bed is very wide so just fine.

Despite the Periyar reserve and construction down the road as they plan to build an extension, there no mosquitoes to trouble you as netting covers entire ground floor side.

The Restaurant is beautifully laid out with a warm setting and clean and comfy. They have taken the trouble to have different flowers in every vase on the table. The service is a tad slow as the breakfast buffet counter took a while to open and some of the items on the menu are unavailable.

The menu is disappointing as Kerala cuisine is hardly catered to.

Room service is very good and the food comes covered on a tray.The curd rice is the best and the phulkas nice and soft. The traditional Kerala veggie Thoran was finally served for dinner on request.

 But housekeeping is indifferent. 

No noise save for the rooster at 4 am. Around 6 am becomes distinctly warmer, maybe some machine gets switched off but since it’s a cool area and wonderful comfortable room, doesn’t irritate.

Tip

Try and get the first floor rooms. First floor means on the same level as reception where the Wild View Nature rooms are located.

The ground floor is below the reception. The ground floor is where the Wild View rooms are situated. The suites or Wild View Pavilion as they’re called are on the second floor, so that’s the elevated view.
