- Shridhar KalyanpurBengaluru, India17 contributionsI visited this place in Aug 22 with my wife and its a good place if you are a wildlife and scenery loving person. The forest is dense without mobile network. If you are planning to stay inside Parambikulam then you have some 4-5 choices to book online. I booked Thunakadavu Tree Top Hut accommodation for 2N/3D along with pug mark trail trekking and below is my experience.
> The forest department people look for excuse to cancel trekking with excuses like there should be minimum of 10 people, rain, leech all other reasons.
> Stay at for Thunakadavu Tree Top Hut was a nightmare as there are hundreds of rodents and rats which easily enter your hut. We had some biscuits in one of our bag and the rats despite keeping this bag in a stand, punctured the bag and ate all the biscuits. The rats move all around you making noise and some also climbed our bed at night. Remind you, you are alone in that hut without signal to call for help and also not advised to climb down the staircase due to elephant/wild animal movements during nights. During day, there are lot of monkeys which made sure we cannot enjoy the property sitting outside. The next day, I was successful to change from hut to Tented niche and slept well which i missed previous night.
> Location of hut is excellent. Honeycomb is midst tribal settlement and Tented niche is near admin office so location wise Hut is very good and isolated.Written August 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The chariots are enclosed inside iron gates and one cannot view them if we do during other seasons. Ancient inscription about the temple history is available.

- dc d61 contributionsSeetharkundu view point is one of the major tourist attractions in Nelliampathi.
Its situated inside Poabs estate and one can get a complete view of Nelliampathy from this place. They have a sales outlet from where vistors can buy spices , juice squash etcWritten January 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The nearest town is Nenmara and would recommend a mininum of 1.5 days for sight seeing.
Stay : We stayed at a small resort run by Keral Forest Department (KSFDC) right inside the forest. Its a serene place much away from the hustle bustle of Nelliampathy with good facilities.
During the trek we spotted deers, hornbills, sambhar deer. It seems bisons, leopards and tigers were spotted by other travellers.
Some of the main attraction points are Seetharakundu, Pothundi, Kesavapara, Minnumpara and Mattupara ( off road jeep ride to these 2 spots is worth the visual treat in these 2 areas), Orange garden.Written January 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SASIDHARAN KANNANKARA1 contributionI loved this art work of 1969 by intellectual artist Kanai Kunjiraman Sir. It's a marvellous piece of art work made from a single rock sculpted magnificently which scores highest attraction of Malampuzha Fantasy Park.
I will definitely appreciate the Kerala Government for maintaining this park of attraction.
I also want to sincerely bring to the notice of concerned garden maintaining authority/Kerala Government to declare this park as totally plastic free. It's alarming to see thr unhygienic maintenance of this marvelous water body.Written June 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sugeesBengaluru, India299 contributionsWe took trekking trail with parambikilum tiger reserve.. They have 3 different trekking trails. Elephant walk, bear path and pug mark. We opted bear path which was booked online.. The website says you have to pay for min.5 members if lack of guests as its a group trekking and its a 4 hour medium paced trail from 9-1pm.. We reached by 8.30 and waiting till 9.30 to get allocated a guide. We were the only people for bear path trekking and had to pay extra for the other 3 members. Its 300 per person..after insisting and continuous talks about delay, we were allowed to start our trekking at 9.40 am... We expected our guide to be more knowledgeable person, wearing professional gear with backpack and walking stick etc, but he came in very casual slippers and took us inside forest. There is no proper trail path or organized route. Inside the forest we saw fresh elephant foot mark, and suddenly our guide got panic, was not convinced of his own route and brought us out in less than 2 hours. By 11.30 we were out. When enquired about it, he was saying it takes only 2 hours, the website information of 4 hours includes for very slow trekkers😓😒. We really felt we were misguided because the reception office while allocating guide also was insiting yours is long trek for 4 hours. it should be that this guide just took the shortest route or he his not aware of trekking path. After went thru many professional trekking groups across India and world, it was an horrible experience. Though the walk inside forest was fresh, guide was not a professional trekker, looked more of a self trained local boy.
Both topslip and parambikulum to be avoided during weekends and public holidays. Their concept of safari drive is fill the bus with loads of people around 30-40 at a time, go around the forest and come back.Written October 20, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dc d61 contributionsGreat place the visual treat is worth the off road jeep rides. We need to hire a jeep to reach the view points Minnampara and Mattu para.

- sikhilThrissur District, India1,346 contributionsOldest naturally grown teak tree in the world. Simply phenomenal giant tree. There are forest department mini buses through the parambikkulam reserve forest to reach here. A lot of monkey, deers and peacocks etc can be seen on the journey. The is kind of off road type. Finish everything before 6pm.Written May 1, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
