Lovely place to stay with very very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Their web site really doesn't do the place justice - it's much better in real life! Huge bedrooms with monkeys right outside the window for some entertainment! Great breakfasts - croissants and peanut butter! Very handy for Periyar NP as park gate just a few hundred metres away.

The Wildernest in Kumily is very comfortable & an ideal base from which to explore the town & the surrounding countryside, including Periyar wildlife Sanctuary. Rooms are large, well equipped & clean. Our room had a balcony where we could sit & watch the macaques climbing in the jackfruit tree in the courtyard – entertaining, as long as you remember... More

Wildernest is in the town of Kumily. It's next to the CGH Earth Spice Village. A good location and easy to walk into the shops, sights and places to eat. Make sure you eat at the Bamboo Cafe and ask for a pot of 'tea' - you will get beer in the teapot and mugs because they don't have a... More

A perfectly located accommodation with huge rooms, we were 2 adults with two small children and there was enough room for us all. We had a room with a small garden which was great for the boys to go out and "chat" with the monkeys. Staff were very helpful and can arrange everything for you, nothing was too much trouble....

This is a well priced, very well located hotel near to the Periyar wild life reserve. It is very clean, and very efficiently run. Good breakfasts and afternoon teas on offer (lovely fruit cake). The rooms are large, if a little spartan - but good value for money.. we had the bonus of a sunny terrace to relax on and... More

Huge, spotless rooms. Upstairs balconies. Monkeys! Beautifully served set breakfast menu. I was sick for a day while staying here and was treated with outstanding above-and-beyond consideration and kindness by the staff. I was travelling solo and they brought extra blankets, dry toast (when I was up to it) and checked in and kept me company, too.

The Wildernest B&B isn't actually much of a B&B but just a hotel. The rooms however are really, really big. And the location is set right in the middle of Thekkady, which I found to be a really touristy place but that's to be expected I guess. No dinner is served in the hotel itself but there are other hotels... More

We booked the Wildernest some months in advance, and then three weeks before we were due to arrive we requested a room with balcony. This wasn't available, because other people had requested the balcony rooms. EXCEPT that when we were there we realised many people coming through were staying only one/two nights on independent organised tours, and they got the... More

Stayed mid Jan 2012. Well placed for Periyar and a good area for local shopping. Rooms are large and clean. No air conditioning but the fan was adequate as it is not so hot up in the hills. Breakfast and afternoon tea are very good, but its a pity that breakfast isn't a bit earlier - doesn't officially start til... More
