There's a restaurant on site, as well as a snack bar/deli. An airport shuttle (available 24 hours) is available for a fee. Barbecue grills, an arcade/game room, and tour/ticket assistance are also featured at the family-friendly Amritara Riverside Luxury Tents.
Smoking is allowed in designated areas at this Kothamangalam campground.
Poor lighting around tents. Pretty distant from sanctuary.
Otherwise , great place to be in for a short holiday. Riverside view good. Didnât get to see much birds in the camp. Food options limited. No in house restaurant.
Courteous staff.
Australian family with 8 and 11 yr olds. A very mixed experience with staff hence that part of the review: Naturalist guide Abilash and birding was amAzing. Guest relations manager very attentive. Restaurant staff borderline unfriendly. Lots of miscommunication from bookings person that led to a lot of avoidable stress and triple check if they have availbility during peak times even if Expedia says they have plenty of tents avail. Superb location / cabins and we Loved kayaking on Periyar. Early morning mist magical. If travelling with children its not actually that family freindly. Take a lot of snacks. Expect river to be out of bounds and bikes and kayaking equipment to only suit large adults. Buffet dinner good value. Lunch exorbitant for a very meagre thali. Loved being there overall and if you set expectations low on the points mentioned that need attn, then Im sure youll love it too.
Located in a beautiful setting, right by the river. Good for bird-watching. However, the shower room was very basic and the tent walls were dirty inside - overpriced for what it is. Some of the male staff in the reception/restaurant area were not very friendly or attentive at all.
