Amritara Hornbill Camp

Hornbill camp at Thattekkad near Kochi, is so located, to perfectly blend into the forest, so you can enjoy your own private jungle and the spectacular view of the river Periyar. Along its banks, birds flock in their thousands and the cool ambience is the ultimate prize for the birder. Known as the Birder's Paradise, the camp and the adjoining Dr Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary, is home to over 270 species of birds, including all the endemics. Mottled Wood Owl Spot-bellied Eagle Owl Malayan Night Heron, Sri Lanka Frogmouth, Rusty-tailed Flycatcher, Grey-headed Bulbul, Nilgiri Wood Pigeon are some of the rarer species found here. Besides, the camp has a lot to offer those with a taste for adventure. The Periyar is ideal for river kayaking. Trekkers are rewarded with sightings of Elephants during their unique exposure to this lowland rain forest. Staying at the camp one can indulge in a biking adventure through the spice plantations, forest tracts and quaint villages around the camp. The Hornbill Camp is ideal for travelers in search of an adventure, who will relish the opportunity to get close to nature, and delight in the sounds of the forest.

Poor experience at Hornbill camp

Reviewed By manojm484

We seven families booked 8 AC tents in hornbill camp for stay on 12 February 22. Though theplace is excellent, good food and we did have fun in outdoor activities, the stay in tents without AC during daytime was horrible. We were told after check in that ac will be kept off from 6am to 12 noon and 4pm to 7 pm in evening which came as surprise. I recommend you book the resort only after ensuring AC is available round the clock. Management should display AC timings in website.

I would assume this is one of the better properties in this upcoming tourist destination. For those who are looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway and a station to reach all nearby attractions, this would be a wise choice. A very homely environment makes it ideal for families too. They provide all quintessential Kerala food, more importantly, customized to your taste if you wish. It is a small little place with courteous staff, always available to make your stay comfortable. Highly recommend this place. I would go again!

Budgies are beautiful

Reviewed By SurajKamath

Location : The hotel is located near by Salim Ali bird Sanctuary @ Thattekad. It is easy to locate as it is on the main road itself you won't miss the name board if you are self driving. Try to reach the hotel before 5pm as you can expect wild animals enroute as it gets dark. We visited this place during Dec 2020. The rooms are cottage like, sufficient for family for 4 ( 2 adults and 2 Children) , the food is good , tasty , sufficient quantity & economical. As attraction/recreation the hotel has few farm animals like Pony, Poultry birds like Hens, Ducks & Turkey. There are Rabbits , Budgies , Dog and others. You can plan to visit Mamalakandam ( a remote village through forest trail) Boothekandu dam Inchathotty Suspension Bridge and other places Hotel can arrange Jeep etc. as the terrain esp. to Mamalakandam is risky for private cars . Please remember since it is forest area it gets dark quickly so plan you day tour and other activities accordingly. Also there aren't much of options for food around if you like to skip the hotel food.

Soma Birds Lagoon

Located near the Thattekad Bird sanctuary, Soma Birds Lagoon is an exquisite combination of nature and luxury. A nest that cuddles you in the lap of Mother Nature. Being quite close to the sanctuary, guests at Soma Birds Lagoon have the privilege of watching more than 300 odd species of birds that is found in this vicinity. The Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary commonly known as The Thattekad Bird Sanctuary is also home to mammals like leopard, sloth bear, deer, elephant and porcupine besides a phenomenally diverse bird and butterfly population. Special care has been taken while building Soma Birds Lagoon, to preserve the village ambiance and ecological balance of this haven. So while providing all modern amenities, our cottages do not lose their rustic air. Soma Bird's lagoon is also an ideal place to experience Ayurveda and rejuvenate your body mind and soul.

Lovely setting and great food.

Reviewed By Dannyxb

Although the place gives the impression of being a little tired and past its best it is set in a wonderful location assuming you have your own transport to get too and from the place. Excellent location for Bird watching trips in the nearby forests. The rooms are reasonable large and well set out and the dining area overlooks the Lagoon. Great for an early evening beer before dinner. The WiFi reception was excellent which is unusual for such a remote location and well appreciated.

Sparrow Vale

Amazing Nature Stay-A staycation with friends

Reviewed By haibibina

Sparrow Vale, Thattekad Amazing stay, beautiful scenery , peaceful and a lovely cottage. Its just 2 hours drive from kochi. The road towards the destination is good to drive on. It is a calm and beautiful nature hugging spot near a forest area. Ours was a ladies staycation .We felt quiet safe and free. Pool experience was wonderful, very neat and clean. Neat rooms and well maintained property. A different experience of stay in the cottage which is a real reconditioned traditional house of kerala. Absolutely perfect space to breath out your strain and inhale a cool refreshing sense of happiness. We are much appreciated to Sijo Sir(owner), who supported us in everyway and other staff who were so co-ordial to us.
