Thekkady (Kerala side) is best known for its forest. There is nothing else to do other than go to the forest, trek, go to the lake ride, and forest forest forest. Considering that life revolves around the forest, CM Thekkady offers decent rooms and safe food for the stay. On the flip side, Basically the resort is smaller than other typical CM resorts, and also it has a laid back look about it. There is nothing much to do at the resort, all the happy hub and inside resort activities are a waste of time...dont even try it. Since forest life ends by 5 PM, it is actually boring sitting at the resort with nothing much to do. The resort offers some good packages to go in an around, but again it is a tie up with some tour agent who has a pamphlet of what all he can offer. Other than Gavi forest, others are not worth spending time. You may as well hunt for a bargain at the numerous safari jeep shops that abound the place The treks and tours are organized by Periyar wildlife board and they are good. The resort doesn't offer any treks or organized tours. This is basically like a hotel where you park your luggage and spend time looking for people to get your itinerary done. The rooms are decent but doesn't give you that nice feeling. There is a feeling of something missing which you cant point to anything in particular. May be the small size of the rooms, or the resort itself having aged..I really dont know CM service levels were exceptional, but there is only so much you can do with an old horse.
