The well spaced, neatly laid out Gabled Cottages and Rooms, with tiled roofs and unplastered granite-stone exteriors, are reminiscent of the Colonial Bungalows. And, what magic has played upon for them to be blend so harmoniously into the verdent landscape!

It is indeed a retreat with a difference- the difference is that Treetop offers you these rooms and cottages furnished with excellent facilities, uncompromising quality and superb service, all at down-to-earth prices.

Each cottage has its own private sit-out from where on a lucky evening or early morn you get to see Wild Fowls, Flying Squirrels, Primates, Sambars or Wild Boars just a few feet away. The interiors are comfortable and capacious, designed to be convenient to your various needs, well appointed with cable T.V. and direct dial telephones.

There is also an independent Bungalow with a self-contained kitchen, living area and bedrooms that can accomodate four families comfortably well.

Perched on a hillock within the salient area of the Periyar Wild Life Sanctuary is TREETOP, an idyllic retreat that offers an unparalleled opportunity to savour the magical sensation of the evergreen rainforests that straddles the tiny state of Kerala on the South-Western tip of the Indian Peninsula. Sandwiched between the mighty Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, Kerala is an amazingly stunning and bountiful strip of land and many a ship has set sail in search of the veritable gold mine of spices grown in the upper reaches of her forests, since time immemorial.
Situated 2800 feet above MSL, the climate is pleasantly cool through out the year and the unpolluted mountain air truly invigorating and the experience sublime.

The stimulating aroma of spices, the flight of a flock of wild geese in perfect formation, the mating call of a bull-elephant, the endless humming of the crickets, the honey-dewed wild flowering trees, the frolicking of baboons and the twinkling of the fireflies at night, are a few of the smells, sights and sounds that are mesmerising.

Bounded by evergreen flora and dotted with tall shady trees entwined with pepper vines, this exotic resort is a birdwatcher's delight (over 60 different feathered birds frequent the locale) and their constant chirping perfectly compliments the peace and tranquility that makes this the ideal getaway to rediscover oneself amidst Mother Nature, at her pristine best.

Thekkady has all the breath-taking spectacular serene views Kerala possesses.

The drive to Thekkady itself is enchanting as the road winds through tranquil countryside, rich plantations & thick jungles. The sanctuary, 60 km from Idukki, 190 km from Cochin and 114 kms away from Kottayam is open throughout the year, but the best season is from September to March. The sanctuary is centred around the large (24 sq km) artificial lake formed by a dam across the Periyar river. The main attraction is a boat trip over this man-made lake of Thekkady. The forest department would also arrange elephant rides and trekking inside the sanctuary.
