Kerala House

On the edge of Periyar's wilds in Kumily/Thekkady — Kerala House sits within easy walking distance of the town center and minutes from Periyar National Park, Kadathanadan Kalari Centre, Mudra Cultural Centre and the Western Ghats. Pet-friendly and ideal for nature-spotting stays.

A small, homey guesthouse with just 8 guestrooms and a relaxed, local vibe. Rooms feature showers, TVs with satellite channels, desks, daily housekeeping and complimentary toiletries; room equipment varies by category and Wi‑Fi is available. Shared spaces include a terrace and garden with views, a library and a picnic area — plus a massage room for down-time.

Take bicycles for a spin, book excursions at the tour desk, or chill on the terrace and garden while soaking in Western Ghats views. On-site perks include a restaurant, room service, a massage room, library, picnic area, luggage service, laundry and dry cleaning, transfer and car-rental assistance, and free self-parking.

High-speed (wired) internet access (surcharge), express check-in and check-out, a 24-hour front desk and onsite self-parking keep business or longer stays running smooth.

An on-site restaurant serves meals and room service is available; staff can also help arrange picnic meals or local dining suggestions to sample the region.
