Chrissie’s offers a fresh breath of air (quite literally) and is one of the preferred accommodation facilities in Periyar. Resting in the middle of a teak forest, this hotel is supervised by Chrissie who ensures that all the requirements of guests are taken care of. The property boasts 15 rooms spread across three floors.

Larger suites are recommended for families. The only unsolicited company that you may have is from monkeys. Guests are advised to keep door and windows shut at all times. Chrissie’s Hotel lies a short walk away from the main road in Thekkady but is close enough to national park gate and other sightseeing options. The rooftop café and the garden are the highlights of the hotel, which stand as perfect retreats for sunbathers and book readers. A large yoga room is available for guests who want to devote sometime in the airy ambience for some relaxation. The room overlooks the garden and adds to the soothing ambience with nothing but silence around. Activities around Chrissie’s include visiting Periyar National Park, elephant rides through plantations, short hikes and relaxing rejuvenation massages and Ayurvedic treatments.
