Near Thekkady
Stay near Thekkady, away from the crowds
Thekkady is the usual stop for the Periyar side of Idukki. Urava gives you somewhere private to return to, with a waterfall instead of a lobby.
Quiet after the sightseeing
Spend the day out, then come back to a quiet estate with a waterfall that day visitors never reach.

Good to know.
Do we get the property to ourselves?
If you book all three cottages and the villa, yes: the whole 8-acre estate is yours. Otherwise you share it only with guests of the other units. The waterfall is open only to Urava guests, never to day visitors.
How many people can stay?
Up to 24 adults across the estate. Each of the three cottages takes up to 4 adults and 3 children, and the villa takes up to 12 adults and 6 children.
How do we get there from Bengaluru or Chennai?
By car it is about 9 to 10 hours from either city. You can also take an overnight bus to Kumily (40 minutes away) or Kattappana (3 km away). The property is 250 metres off the State Highway. See the How to reach page for trains and flights.
Keep planning
