Pugmark Jungle Resort Wayanad kerala.

A stream of peeking sunlight accompanied by the trill of the Bulbul for alarm clock. In an idyllic wooden cottage where windows open to mist-shrouded
mornings and breeze clears the air just in time for sunlight to fall on the verdant hills. The unlikely but pleasant accompaniment of the aroma of freshly pound beans served with the steaming cup of coffee. And a breakfast, prepared on wood burning stoves, every gourmand's delight. Where conferences are around crackling embers of a late evening campfire, meeting the unlikely spotting of a stripped feline and con-calls, the vociferous imitations of the famed Laughing Thrush and trumpeting elephants. In Wayanad, the land dotted with woodlands, valleys, hillocks and fed by copious rainfall, all that features on the memo is a tryst with nature. Pugmarks Resorts is Wayanad's very own nature retreat, where being amidst nature is just a way of living.

The Lodge at pugmark Jungle Resort Wayanad Kerala

Nothing could best explain the philosophy at Pugmarks than Byron's lines. Neatly tucked away in a five acre coffee plantations are charming wooden cottage tents and wooden suites; an inviting place to be miles away from anywhere of consequence.
Hemmed by the elephant corridor on one side and the thick foliage of the forest on the other, Pugmarks Jungle Lodge is Wayanad's very own nature retreat, where being amidst nature is just a way of living. Trying to recreate the essence of being close to nature, the five acres of landscaped coffee plantation is adorned with quaint wooden and tented cottages. The lodges have been built utilizing ethnic material and the skill of local craftsmen. Classic hand carved wooden furniture, and custom made beddings, which took our seven craftsmen more than twenty days and modern bath facilities, sum up the accommodation facilities at Pugmarks Jungle Lodge.
