Misty Valley Hill Resorts - Farmstay in Nelliampathi, Muthalamada North - Palakkad, India

You wanna see wild Animals - pack your backpacks and get to this place. By the time you start back you will be literally tired of seeing wild bison. A 220 years old Bungalow built by the British in the middle of 950 Acres of dense forest..that's 'Mist Valley'. And the drive to reach there...it's simply Amazing.... No words or pics can explain it ..you must experience it to know what exactly I'm trying to pen down... And the next best thing is that your phone can only be used as a paper weight till you descend back..

Located deep inside the forests of Nelliyampathi Hills, Misty Valley Hill Resort stands out as the best choice for those seeking the beauty and serenity of the wilderness. Located approximately 14 kilometers away from Nelliyampathi town, reaching this location requires a sturdy 4x4 vehicle due to the challenging, muddy, and steep roads. ****I recommend confirming transportation arrangements with the resort managers, as local jeep operators may try to persuade you to choose their services over the resort's vehicle. Having cash on hand is a wise choice, considering the lack of network connectivity deep within the jungle and the unreliable Wi-Fi service. Additionally, be mindful of service charges at local cash vendors in Nelliyampathi****. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the night safari, which was nothing short of an adventure. We encountered Indian gaur, wild boar, and sambar deer, which were regular sightings. However, spotting elephants, leopards, and even tigers requires a touch of luck. The British bungalow has a serene view of cloud covered mountains which is a feast for the eyes.

It was great experience with staying at misty valley bungalow, it is place inside 12km deep forest people who love nature and deep forest definitely worth this place, specially night jeep safari

Wilderness at its best. Resort can be accessed with a 14kms of off roading with 4WD jeeps only. Location is absolute bliss for both family and friends. Climate is very chill here. They would arrange night safari and chances of sighting is high. Morning trail to the near by mountain gives a breath taking visual of surronding forest and adjoining three dams.

I first visited Misty valley in Dec 2021 and was blown away by the location, the sure sighting of wildlife and the overall experience. So much so that I decided to revisit the resort again in Apr 2023. This time however, the service was poor, the management were stubborn and frankly they didn't care. All this along with a dramatic increase in room tariff with a very poor service. The only highlight was that the location and wildlife is still the same. The staff blamed these changes on new management but I highly doubt if that's the sole reason. We were even denied grilling our own chicken and they insisted on us having dinner from the resort itself or buying grilled chicken for Rs. 1200/- per chicken! It just ruined what could have been a memorable experience. Please don't take tourists for granted!

Service is need to improve .. not worth for the given amount. Food facility is good. But over all of not suggestable. Please recheck your self before the trip. Please don't go if you are wish to reach there by the fame of YouTube videos

Google allows us to give at least one star or else I would have give negative 5 for this resort Pros The 15 km off-road on the way to the hotel was a good experience. Cons First of all the welcoming was not at all good and the attitude of the manager Jayakumar was really disgusting. He didn't even welcome us. We were a group of 3 and we paid around 2200 per head plus 1180 GST . For this much money the place was not at all worth it. In the evening as we checked in they offered us with one single savoury and one black tea, even though if u are willing to have more for money, they won't offer you. Later the rooms were okay but not as worthy for the penny, Later the day they will took us for a night Safari and hardly we could see bisons and cats. Dinner was okay with chappathis and vegetable kuruma , if you are not vegetarian they would provide you chicken gravy and fry Once you are done with your dinner, you can go to your rooms and rest as everything around would be dark and you would eventually opt to get back to the room. They had provided internet connectivities / wifi which were of low bandwidth and speed, we hadn't had mobile network hence we thought of having their internet connectivities which was further disappointing Overall, it's just a good place to vibe if you are with a lot of people who are willing to move to an offline life Requesting to spend your money worthy Thanks

Nelliampathi Reserve as such was a great experience. One You should truly visit to experience the offroad adventure provided, the shear beauty and mesmerizing sights it provide. Having said this, I'd suggest you to please check the property and amenities provided maybe twice or thrice before you start your journey. The place we stayed is called 'Misty Valley Resorts'. The WORST place you can stay to enjoy this beautiful place. We were 6 ppl paying 14k for the stay. But when you arrive they provide black tea and banana fritters, there isn't one extra or less. Just six. When asked if you can provide few extra, they start blabbering about the price of banana and tea powder. We were okay with this, then moved to the room. The rooms were as seen in the pics, not too shabby not too good. But there isn't any soaps or towel provided in the washrooms. The pipes are all broken and oozing out water as if noone cares. Again considering the remoteness of the place, we got adjusted to the situations, the eve food again was limited.. The chicken strips provided had been fried to its core. We enquired about providing a grill and chicken for us, the cost is 1400 for one chicken. Again Its my humble request to the readers, if you are okay with this and ready to experience all the above said hurdles, please go ahead. Otherwise I'd suggest you guys to stay away from the place. The facilities and amenities provided is tooo bad for the price we provide. Note: We went here because one of us had already been here once before, but the management changed, maybe because of this we faced so much if these issues. Just putting it here for reference.
