Best Forest Resort At Meppadi

In the heart of the intoxicating beauty of Wayanad, snuggled in the misty cardamom plantation, is the Best Forest Resort at Meppadi

A pebbled and rugged stretch of the off-road drive leading to the Best Forest Resort at Meppadi is an indication that you are getting transported to a land that is completely detached from the hustle and bustle of vehicles and modernization. Nature is at its rawest and purest best at this Forest Resort at Meppadi. The mist melting against the massive trees of the rainforest and the cardamom plantations creates a surreal sight and here silence echoes peace. The hanging bridge along the forest stay is an escape spot to completely soak oneself in this forest fantasy. A stream flowing through the property adds rhythm and the beauty of flowing waters to the ambiance. Chirps of numerous birds echo in the air and streak the sky with spectacular colors.

Due to the log hut style construction, accommodations at the Best Forest Resort at Meppadi have an elevated view of the vistas around. This Forest Resort boasts of 2 suites, 2 wooden cottages, 2 villas, and a tree house. Every room is well-appointed with modern luxuries. Suite rooms have an indulgent open sky bathroom and garden. The fireplace in the suite is a classic addition. Wooden tree houses are exotic as they overlook the stream. The villas are ravishing in look and styling and have a living space, kitchenette, and dining area, apart from other comforts and luxuries. All accommodations are tastefully decorated with warm tones of furnishings and ooze elegance and panache.

The restaurant at the Best Forest Resort at Meppadi is a crowd puller with its fabulous elevated wooden deck and design which is open to three sides. It is a soothing nook with rustic and romantic vibes. Lip smacking ethnic Kerala delicacies can be relished from the preset menu at the restaurant, accompanied with spectacular views of the misty forest. Barbeques can be arranged on request.

A bonfire in the evening creates the right moment to come together and bond. Nevertheless, loud music at the premises is a big no-no.

Things to do

The jeep ride which you have to undertake to arrive at the property is by itself an enthralling activity which involves traveling through the pristine jungle over a tough trail.

This Resort is a birdwatcher’s paradise as the Western Ghats is home to 350 species of birds that flock and nest here in huge numbers.

A tour through pepper, cardamom, and coffee plantations is every minute a novel experience for metro-dwellers. If you are an early riser, catch glimpses of elephants or deer while on an animal sighting trek in the neighborhood. Or set out on a nature walk along the stream and come back rejuvenated as from a natural spa.

A badminton court and indoor games allow the guests to connect and socialize with each other. The bonfire and barbeque are another melting pot where stories can be shared in an enchanting setting. The hammocks beside the restaurant are ever ready to rock you into that much-needed slumber. Other favourite sightseeing spots of Wayanad around the Resort are Chembra Peak, Meenmutty and Soojippara waterfalls, Edakkal Caves, Thirunelli Temple, Banasurasagar Dam, Pookkote Lake, Pakshi Padalam and Lakkidi Viewpoints, Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary, and Kuruva Island.

SelfRoadiez Review

Definitely, a place that will transport you to a mystical, magical, fantasy world! Starting with the off-road drive in a jeep along the 3 km stretch leading to the resort is an adventure by itself. A ride to remember through the cardamom plantations, over streams and passing waterfalls; sights and sounds totally mesmerize the soul. The tagline of the resort "a date with nature’, couldn’t be a misnomer!

The cuisine on offer is delicious traditional Kerala food though it is a set menu. There are certain rules at the resort such as no playing of loud music to maintain the peace and tranquility. Also, there is no room service and the electricity is through solar power and generator backup.

Campfires are a great way of unwinding and rejuvenating here. The perfect place to get away from ringing phones and pings on social media apps; ideal to just relax, bond with your fellow travelers, and enjoy the interaction with nature!
