The Bamboo Grove Eco Lodge is located adjacent to the famed Periyar Tiger Reserve in Thekkady. This Eco Lodge is the result of a revolutionary eco-tourism programme. If you enjoy camping, you'll like Bamboo Grove. The only visitor accommodation built in the vicinity of the reserve, these traditional bamboo and mud huts are built primarily with local materials. You may be met by monkeys (doors should be kept shut), there's a tree hut for the children, and food is freshly prepared in the kitchens 100 metres down the road.
