Pugmarks Jungle Lodge

My wife and i had to stop over in wayanad on the wlwaybfrom vadakara to bangalore. However, usual our stop over place, close to thirunelli temple wasn't available and we chose to stay at pugmarks, though it was about 30min drive from the temple. The drive to the resort was beautiful and it was surrounded by abundant greenery, tall trees, farm lands and a decent approach road. The owner of the property, mr. Gopavarma was in touch with me over whatsapp and offered help as needed. Google maps' took us straight to resort without any hassle. The 8 acre property had parking space for about 5-6 cars. We were offered hot tea upon arrival and we were showed our cottage. It was spacious, neat and had all the required amenities. The entire property was well lit and was nestled in nature with 6 cottages, two small ponds, swings, and ample space for a nature walk. We were detailed about the near by places that we could visit. Since we had reached at 6pm, we couldn't explore much except for walking around the entire property and going around the pool and the pond. Dinner was made to order and the chef made chapattis and pane-er curry for us, which was yum. The rooms and the linens were neat and cozy and bathroom amenities were clean and decent enough was enough. Early morning was amazing and energizing after a good night sleep and as we stepped out to sit in the private balcony to listen to the birds while sipping hot coffee. We couldn't stay for long and had to skip our breakfast at the resort to visit the thirunelli temple. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would certainly look forward for our next visit to pugmarks.

My recent visit to pugmark resort in wayanad left me thoroughly impressed with their exceptional service and warm hospitality. Nestled in the serene surroundings of wayanad, this quaint lodge offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Upon arrival, i was greeted by the gracious owner, gopa varma, whose welcoming demeanor set the tone for a memorable stay. The staff, echoing the owner's hospitality, went above and beyond to cater to every need, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience throughout my stay. The resort, though small, boasts a charming ambiance and features a beautiful swimming pool, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. While the dining options were limited, the food served was not only delicious but also reflective of the local flavors, adding an authentic touch to the experience. What truly stood out during my stay was the unwavering dedication of the owner and staff to ensure guest satisfaction. Whether it was arranging tours to nearby tourist attractions or attending to any request with promptness and efficiency, their impeccable service left a lasting impression. I would recommend pugmark resort to anyone seeking a tranquil retreat in wayanad, where the genuine warmth and hospitality of the owner, gopa varma, and their attentive staff elevate the overall experience to unparalleled heights.

We stayed there on 12/13 aug'23 (family of 3. We were allotted "cedar suite. Excellent room, clean with rustic, jungle touch. Unparalled hospitality and courteousness by the owner go-pa verma. Also worth mentioning his chef everything somnath. He served chicken curry (minimum chilly, as per our request) with malabar paratha for dinner and appam with egg curry for breakfast. Food is really delicious. I suggest all guests to go around the property to see coffee plants, black pepper twined around, the good part is that there are no leeches. There is a watch tower for people with a bit of adventure to observe trench dug around with electric fencing to prevent elephant and bison entering the property. We also saw how plastic wastes have been turned to make back drop for three swimming pool - including shower cabin on left and right. Took a walk on road outside the property and saw group of deer. All in all - an excellent and memorable stay worth recommending to friends and relatives. And yes, some special favours by go-pa verma - not mentioning the details least people start demanding it as right )

Great location on the edge of an elephant corridor. If you are a nature lover this is definitely the place for you! We highly recommend you stay in the tree house or at least spend lots of time in the watchtower. We saw herds of grazing Chital, peacocks, giant squirrels, mongoose, monkeys and flying lizards! Your hosts are very welcoming and thoughtful and we can highly recommend the coracle trip on the nearby river and guided cycling offered by Gopa. The swimming pool is genuinely clean (a rare and very welcome find in this price range). The in house food is delicious and everyone on site is very kind. There are lots of nearby tourists attractions that are nice and quiet (in our experience you’re more likely to see the wildlife in quiet places!).

We had a good time at pug-marks amid-st nature. Rooms are good, clean and spacious. We stayed at cedar suite. Amenities are good, swimming pool was clean and nice. Other activities like nature walk, watch tower are also there. Small area for fishing is also there. Lot of lotus ponds around the property. Care takers were decent, polite and helpfull. Food options are limited; though whatever we asked to cook was made available l. You need to inform in advance as there is no full time restaurant. Overall a nice jungle experience. All the must see places are within 30_45 minutes drive. Keep your room doors closed; there are plenty of monkeys and insects but manageable and harmless; part of jungle experience. Don't complain be ready prepared

The pug-marks jungle lodge is a must visit if you are a nature lover and like to stay in the woods. The cedar suite which we stayed in is basically a wooden cottage which was superb amid the green coffee plantation. The suite has got a small porch area, a fireplace and one bedroom. The staff and host is super friendly and courteous. The property is surrounded by acres of coffee plantation, bordering the wayanad wildlife sanctuary. One could take a walk through the coffee plantation and reach one watch tower, if you are lucky enough, you could spot wild elephants and other animals from there.

Peoperty is well maintained with stunning nature. Absolutely loved it ! would be loved to visit again!

We recently stayed at pug-mark jungle lodge and had a wonderful experience. The owner, gopi verma sir, and the staff were incredibly friendly, making our stay memorable. This resort is one of the best jungle stays in the area, ideal for those seeking resorts near nagarhole or resorts in wayanad. The serene environment and excellent service truly set it apart. The morning walk with gopi verma sir was a highlight, adding to the unique charm of our stay. Highly recommended for nature lovers!
