Guest Experiences
"Kids absolutely loved the elephant bathing session! The resort was surrounded by tall trees and we even spotted some monkeys from our balcony. Great trip organized by KeralaStays."
"The spice plantation tour was very informative. We bought some fresh black pepper and cardamom. The boat ride in Periyar was good, though we only spotted some wild boars and birds."
