Pugmarks Jungle Lodge

My wife and i had to stop over in wayanad on the wlwaybfrom vadakara to bangalore. However, usual our stop over place, close to thirunelli temple wasn't available and we chose to stay at pugmarks, though it was about 30min drive from the temple. The drive to the resort was beautiful and it was surrounded by abundant greenery, tall trees, farm lands and a decent approach road. The owner of the property, mr. Gopavarma was in touch with me over whatsapp and offered help as needed. Google maps' took us straight to resort without any hassle. The 8 acre property had parking space for about 5-6 cars. We were offered hot tea upon arrival and we were showed our cottage. It was spacious, neat and had all the required amenities. The entire property was well lit and was nestled in nature with 6 cottages, two small ponds, swings, and ample space for a nature walk. We were detailed about the near by places that we could visit. Since we had reached at 6pm, we couldn't explore much except for walking around the entire property and going around the pool and the pond. Dinner was made to order and the chef made chapattis and pane-er curry for us, which was yum. The rooms and the linens were neat and cozy and bathroom amenities were clean and decent enough was enough. Early morning was amazing and energizing after a good night sleep and as we stepped out to sit in the private balcony to listen to the birds while sipping hot coffee. We couldn't stay for long and had to skip our breakfast at the resort to visit the thirunelli temple. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would certainly look forward for our next visit to pugmarks.

A perfect getaway nestled in the forest midst, with well furnished cottages, this is an ideal place for a vacation. Waking up to chirping birds in early cool mornings & lucky enough to catch sight of wildlife like deers and elephants, the stay was an experience to savour. Tasty typical mallu food enhanced the experience. They have a pool where you can chill out. The watch tower let's you get a glimpse of the elephants when they come out in the night. All in all, it was quite an enjoyable stay. Will be back.

The Ambience and hospitality of that we experienced was exceptional. The cottages were clean and well maintained. The recreational facility was varied, which made it enjoyable for the children too!!. The food was so "nadan"!!. It was very tasty and authentic. The Kuruva Dweep, coracle trip were really enjoyed by the entire family
