My stay at Elephant En Route in Thekkady was pleasant and comfortable. The front desk staff was very cooperative and courteous, making check-in and requests smooth throughout my stay. The rooms are spacious, clean, and feature wooden interiors that beautifully reflect the charm of a traditional Kerala house as well as scenic forest view.
The in-house food was tasty, with a good balance of local flavors and quality. The ambiance of the property is cozy and welcoming, making it a nice retreat after a day of sightseeing.
The location is a key highlight—very close to popular attractions like the elephant ride, jeep safari, and traditional Kalaripayattu and Kathakali performances.
However, I found the pricing for some activities exactly next to the hotel on the higher side. For a better value, I recommend heading to the Jeep Stand next to Tusker Café, where you can get a jeep safari for around ₹2,000 for a 3.5-hour off-road experience—highly worth it for the adventure and scenic routes.
Overall, a great place to stay with authentic Kerala vibes and a convenient location, just be mindful when booking excursions.
