Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to stay at Hotel Anandhas and visit Periyar National Park?

We find the cooler, drier months from October to March are ideal for visiting Hotel Anandhas and Periyar. The weather is pleasant for exploring, and wildlife viewing, especially during the boat safaris, tends to be more rewarding as animals gather near water sources. We particularly love the crisp mornings during this period.

What kind of wildlife encounters can we realistically expect when staying at Hotel Anandhas near Periyar?

While Periyar is a Tiger Reserve, spotting a tiger is quite rare; it's not a typical 'big cat' safari like in Africa. However, we consistently see wild elephants, gaur, sambar deer, and a fantastic array of birdlife, especially during the boat rides on Periyar Lake. The focus here is more on the diverse forest ecosystem and its inhabitants.

What is the actual atmosphere and level of luxury like at Hotel Anandhas?

Hotel Anandhas truly feels luxurious and timeless, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. We appreciate the elegant, colonial-inspired decor and the attentive, discreet service that anticipates your needs without being intrusive. The rooms offer serene views, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploration.

Besides the Periyar boat safari, what other unique activities can we arrange directly from Hotel Anandhas?

We highly recommend exploring the local spice plantations, which Hotel Anandhas can easily arrange; the aromas are incredible. You can also embark on guided nature walks or treks with local naturalists, offering a deeper insight into the region's flora and fauna beyond the main park activities.

What should we expect regarding the cost and overall value of a stay at Hotel Anandhas?

Hotel Anandhas sits in the mid-to-upper range for accommodations in the Periyar region, and we believe it offers excellent value for its quality. You're paying for a refined experience, exceptional service, and a prime location that enhances your visit to the park, rather than just a place to sleep. It's an investment in comfort and convenience.
