Periyar House offers an event experience unlike any other in Kerala, distinguished by its exclusive location on the shores of Periyar Lake, deep inside the world-famous Periyar Tiger Reserve. As a flagship property of the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC), it provides a rare and authentic opportunity for guests and event attendees to connect with nature in a profound way. The resort is not merely near a wildlife sanctuary; it is an integral part of it. This setting makes it an extraordinary choice for planners looking to host events that prioritize tranquility, focus, and inspiration. The atmosphere is one of serene seclusion, where the soundtrack is composed of birdsong and the rustle of leaves, creating a productive and refreshing environment for corporate retreats, strategic workshops, and intimate social gatherings. The property’s architecture and layout are designed to be unobtrusive, blending seamlessly with the verdant landscape and ensuring that the natural beauty of the reserve remains the central focus. The experience of staying here is defined by the potential for spontaneous wildlife sightings—from herds of elephants and sambar deer to a rich diversity of birdlife—often visible directly from the hotel's premises. This constant, gentle reminder of the wild adds a memorable and unique dimension to any event held here.
The property features a total of 44 rooms, including comfortable Deluxe rooms and a more spacious Suite, ensuring ample accommodation for residential conferences and multi-day events. Each room is equipped with the necessary amenities to provide a comfortable and restful stay, allowing attendees to recharge after a day of meetings or jungle excursions. The in-house multi-cuisine restaurant serves a variety of dishes, catering to diverse palates with a selection of local Keralan specialties, familiar Indian fare, and continental options. The dining experience is enhanced by views of the surrounding forest, making every meal a scenic occasion. For event purposes, the property includes a dedicated conference hall, providing a formal space for presentations and discussions. The presence of a beer and wine parlour allows for relaxed networking sessions and evening socials. The logistical advantage of having accommodation, dining, and meeting facilities all within one location, nestled inside the park, simplifies planning and allows participants to fully immerse themselves in the experience without the need for external travel. The resort’s staff, experienced in catering to both tourists and groups, can assist in coordinating activities and ensuring the smooth execution of events.
Choosing Periyar House for an event means offering attendees more than just a meeting space; it means providing an unforgettable adventure. The property is ideally suited for team-building exercises and incentive trips, with the Periyar Tiger Reserve serving as a spectacular natural playground. The hotel is located just a short walk from the main boat landing, providing easy access to the famous Periyar Lake boat safari, a must-do activity for wildlife viewing. Planners can organize guided nature walks, jungle treks, and visits to local spice plantations to enrich the event itinerary. Such activities not only serve as excellent team-bonding opportunities but also leave a lasting impression on participants. The unique constraints of the location, such as park gate timings and noise regulations, also encourage a more focused and mindful event schedule. An event at Periyar House is an opportunity to disconnect from the digital noise of daily life and reconnect with colleagues and nature, fostering creativity, collaboration, and well-being in a setting of unparalleled natural splendor. It is a venue that promises not just a successful event, but a truly remarkable story to tell.
