Visiting Thirunelli Temple is still one of my favorite experiences I've had in India so far. Thirunelli Temple is located in the area of Wynard outside of Kalpetta. While somewhat difficult to get around, Wynard is a nature reserve and absolutely beautiful. I recommend renting a taxi for the day (which is pretty cheap to do in India and your hotel/hostel can help you set it up).

My taxi driver was a Hindu who frequents the temple. We took our shoes off and left them with the pile of shoes at the bottom of the stairs and began to climb. I was under the belief that only Hindus were allowed inside the temple, but he beaconed for me to follow. In broken English, he introduced each of the gods to me and showed me how to receive a blessing and the tilaka (a mark on the forehead made with clay). It was one of those places where you could feel a palpable energy in the air.

Hindus from all over India will come and make the pilgrimage to this temple and I'm honored that they allowed me to be a part of it. Always be respectful and mindful, but if you have a chance to go inside the temple, take it.

"Stayed for 2 nights during a 2 week business trip to India. This newly built hotel is STUNNING. The private grounds feel personal, spacious & luxurious. 3 of us stayed and had a Signature lodge each. Beautiful rooms. Comfy beds. Food at the hotel is delicious.The hotel organised Safari for us (Jeep & Boat) which were both incredible. "

"Overall good experience. It's a nice place for a lazy stay. only limitation is that the room I chose weren't facing the Banasura hills but I got royal family suite complementary for a day. Hence I can forget it. "

"Stay was good, exceptional service by restaurant staff, they made something off menu when requested, also everything was tasty. One thing they can improve is the welcoming part when guests arrive.. also please note the road to property around 500 metres is small and narrow, hardly a suv pass through.. otherwise all fine"
