Tranquilou
Friendly family homestay huddled among some hush.
Claus Garden
This lovely big building sports gently curving balconies and has warm, bright colours in spades. The excellent rooms are spacious and have neat touches like colourful blankets, rugs, artwork and funky bathrooms. Top value.
Mickey Homestay
Mickey has just a handful of intimate rooms in their family house, all with homely touches that make them some of the most comfortable in town. Balconies have rattan furniture and hanging bamboo seats and the whole place is surrounded by greenery.
Lake Palace
Located on an island in the middle of the Periyar Lake, this is the best value of the government hotels inside the park.
Forest Cottage
The Ecotourism Centre can arrange accommodation in a basic forest cottage, a one-hour hike in from the forest check-point.
Chrissie’S Hotel
This four-storey building behind the popular expat-run restaurant of the same name somehow manages to blend in with the forest green surrounds.
Green View Homestay
Grown from its humble homestay origins to be practically hotel-size today, Greenview manages to retain the friendly family welcome that has made it so popular with travellers over the years.
Benny’S Bamboo Village
Six neat rooms flavoured with either rattan walls, concrete or wood panelling.
Coffee Inn
While still keeping its original range of rustic bamboo huts, tree houses and cottages, Coffee Inn has recently expanded to include much swankier digs.
