The Jungle Palace may well be my favorite hotel in all of India. The view from the lanai is an ever- changing kaleidoscope of wild life. One can enjoy a cup of tea while sitting in one of the hanging " basket" swings as a parade of birds and mammals pass by between the hotel and the jungle. It is located very near Periyar National Park and the associated animal and tribal offerings. A variety of restaurants and small shops are easily reached out the front/ street side of the hotel. The staff was incredibly welcoming and the included breakfast was brought to the room at a time chosen by the guest. The large bed was very, very comfortable and actually had upper and bottom sheets as well as a cozy blanket. The room and common areas are very clean. Even though it is rated as a two star property, I would prefer it to far more expensive properties. Plan to stay more than one night, as there are many things to do and experience. It is also the perfect place to just RELAX for a few days...read, enjoy the views, and kick back in a very comfortable setting.
