The Hornbill Camp has well appointed Cottage Tents amidst a coconut grove on the banks of the Periyar river. The tents are spacious and are set up taking into account a level of rustic luxury as well as  modern living standards. En-suite toilet & insect proofing are some of the innovations of the tents at Hornbill camp. Each  cottage tent has its own private bathroom and an exclusive sit-out, most of them overlooking the river and the lowland forests on the opposite bank. Limited time air conditioning is available in tents as an optional amenity.

Among the specialties of this camp are the comfortable beds, en-suite attached European style closet, shower and running hot water. Power supply is available round the clock for lights and fans as well as charging facilities for laptops and mobiles. Some networks provide limited mobile reception. There is limited wifi at the Gazebo. In keeping with its ambience and ethos, there is no television in the rooms.

For all visitors to our camp, we arrange kayaking expeditions,  trips to discover the majesty of the thick forests across the river, short walks in the plantations that surround the camp and village visits for those interested in the culture and lifestyles of the region. The food is ethnic Keralan, prepared with home-grown spices. It would indeed be the ultimate experience to watch the rain forest from your private verandah on the banks of the gently flowing river Periyar !
