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.

My recent visit to pugmark resort in wayanad left me thoroughly impressed with their exceptional service and warm hospitality. Nestled in the serene surroundings of wayanad, this quaint lodge offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Upon arrival, i was greeted by the gracious owner, gopa varma, whose welcoming demeanor set the tone for a memorable stay. The staff, echoing the owner's hospitality, went above and beyond to cater to every need, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience throughout my stay. The resort, though small, boasts a charming ambiance and features a beautiful swimming pool, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. While the dining options were limited, the food served was not only delicious but also reflective of the local flavors, adding an authentic touch to the experience. What truly stood out during my stay was the unwavering dedication of the owner and staff to ensure guest satisfaction. Whether it was arranging tours to nearby tourist attractions or attending to any request with promptness and efficiency, their impeccable service left a lasting impression. I would recommend pugmark resort to anyone seeking a tranquil retreat in wayanad, where the genuine warmth and hospitality of the owner, gopa varma, and their attentive staff elevate the overall experience to unparalleled heights.

We stayed there on 12/13 aug'23 (family of 3. We were allotted "cedar suite. Excellent room, clean with rustic, jungle touch. Unparalled hospitality and courteousness by the owner go-pa verma. Also worth mentioning his chef everything somnath. He served chicken curry (minimum chilly, as per our request) with malabar paratha for dinner and appam with egg curry for breakfast. Food is really delicious. I suggest all guests to go around the property to see coffee plants, black pepper twined around, the good part is that there are no leeches. There is a watch tower for people with a bit of adventure to observe trench dug around with electric fencing to prevent elephant and bison entering the property. We also saw how plastic wastes have been turned to make back drop for three swimming pool - including shower cabin on left and right. Took a walk on road outside the property and saw group of deer. All in all - an excellent and memorable stay worth recommending to friends and relatives. And yes, some special favours by go-pa verma - not mentioning the details least people start demanding it as right )

Nice small property of few cottages and one supposed tree house. Its not a big resort or Pugmarks Jungle Lodge kind of experience but more like a larger homestay. There is a dining area where Breakfast and Dinner are served. The tree house stay makes it a bot more worthwhile. Quite deeply seated amidst greenery and at the edge of Nagarhole forest. The best part of this place is the owner Mr Gopaverma. He makes you feel at home and extends support whatever way possible. We had a challenge of sleepless night in one night because of frequent power cuts and malfunctioning inverter. Otherwise the stay was quite good. Food quality is quite good. There is a nice swimming pool. Overall a decent sized area where one person has tried to do his best with a few cottages and a treehouse. Very homely environment and Gopaverma is quite friendly. He even offered to drive us to Thirunelli temple. Its him that makes the place worth a stay.

5 star luxury stay in a tree house right inside a forest with a decent Panchayat road in front, to summarize this stay at pugmarks jungle resort in Kattikulam in Wayanad. Saw lots of different birds (grey hornbill was the highlight), some colorful lizards and big Malabar flying squirrels while sitting in the big balcony with a cup of tea! And, in the evening, just across the trench and fence, there goes one elephant followed by two bison and a herd of deers. Never expected to see such a vibe in such a safe and luxurious set up. Kudos to the people who designed and built such a tree house in such close proximity to forest in wayanad. This air conditioned treehouse has attached bath with a jacuzzi bath tub, and fridge. Would highly recommend honeymoon couple to spend a night to enjoy wayanad with its nature and wildlife.

Great location on the edge of an elephant corridor. If you are a nature lover this is definitely the place for you! We highly recommend you stay in the tree house or at least spend lots of time in the watchtower. We saw herds of grazing Chital, peacocks, giant squirrels, mongoose, monkeys and flying lizards! Your hosts are very welcoming and thoughtful and we can highly recommend the coracle trip on the nearby river and guided cycling offered by Gopa. The swimming pool is genuinely clean (a rare and very welcome find in this price range). The in house food is delicious and everyone on site is very kind. There are lots of nearby tourists attractions that are nice and quiet (in our experience you’re more likely to see the wildlife in quiet places!).

It was really nice to stay with Pugmarks jungle lodge 😉 Full of advices, help for Safari's organisation which allow us to see Éléphants 👍🐘 Accommodations are top and the pool IS really nice. We will come back

Peoperty is well maintained with stunning nature. Absolutely loved it ! would be loved to visit again!

The stay was excellent, with delicious food and a very pleasant and friendly host and staff. Will come back again. Thank you pugmarks!

We had a good time at pug-marks amid-st nature. Rooms are good, clean and spacious. We stayed at cedar suite. Amenities are good, swimming pool was clean and nice. Other activities like nature walk, watch tower are also there. Small area for fishing is also there. Lot of lotus ponds around the property. Care takers were decent, polite and helpfull. Food options are limited; though whatever we asked to cook was made available l. You need to inform in advance as there is no full time restaurant. Overall a nice jungle experience. All the must see places are within 30_45 minutes drive. Keep your room doors closed; there are plenty of monkeys and insects but manageable and harmless; part of jungle experience. Don't complain be ready prepared

We recently stayed at pug-mark jungle lodge and had a wonderful experience. The owner, gopi verma sir, and the staff were incredibly friendly, making our stay memorable. This resort is one of the best jungle stays in the area, ideal for those seeking resorts near nagarhole or resorts in wayanad. The serene environment and excellent service truly set it apart. The morning walk with gopi verma sir was a highlight, adding to the unique charm of our stay. Highly recommended for nature lovers!
