General
This Forest Ranch near Soochipara Waterfalls is on the banks of a stream that flows placidly thru the forests of Wayanad.
From the moment you enter this whimsical getaway, everything surpasses your imagination. The wooden fencing, log paved stairway with rope, suspended rope bridge and uniqueness of the architecture of cottages, as if suspended in animation, the beauty of the mist-filled ambiance against tall trees, serenity, and poise of the pebble rich glimmering stream, all come together to create an extravagant jungle retreat. This Forest Ranch near Soochipara Waterfalls is the kind of abode that you don’t come across every day and wish to never leave.
The cottages at this Forest Resort have unique geometrical patterns for the exteriors and the elevated log hut construction provides the most spectacular tree house experience. All cottages have a deck for a personal rendezvous with jungle tranquility. Even on the elevated walkways, you will be compelled to pause and lose yourself in the bliss. A few cottages have skylights to view the mystical jungle sky right from your cozy lodgings. Romantic Hut, Sultan’s Retreat, Phantom Villa, and Gypsy Inn are the most popular cottages. The interiors are contemporary and crisp. Pastel and soft tones of furnishings are soothing and luxurious. Each room comes equipped with all modern amenities. Claddings against glass walls add a rustic twist to the entire decor.
‘Discover Nature’ and ‘Ranch Special’ are packages offering sightseeing along with food and accommodation. The Honeymoon package offers all that and extra indulgences such as flower decorations and candlelight dinner for wonderful memories at the Resort.
Savor the carefully prepared vegetarian delicacies as you relish the jungle mystique flooding from the restaurant’s massive glass windows. An Ayurvedic spa, gym, conference room, game room, and kids’ play area leaves the guests spoilt for choice with activities to engage in. The natural stream flowing by is a major eye candy inviting guests to drench their feet and take long walks along its pebbled banks. Barbecue and campfire add euphoria to your magical evenings here.
