Agraharam Resort

We had a great time at Agraharam. Staff's are very friendly and helped us with everything – from arranging a peaceful Brahmagiri trek to making sure our meals were just the way we liked it. Felt very well taken care of. Also A great variety of animals and plants to see especially malabar gliding frogg and lots of birds.....we are very Happy in Agraharam Resort.

The greenery and the unique agraharam kind of ambience

Mosquitoes in the room

Lacks management, maintenance and care. Property is nicely located, but poor management has deteriorated the facility beyond normal means

Everything could have been better

Stayed here recently and absolutely loved the location—nestled right near Tirunelli Temple, it's perfect for a peaceful getaway. The chalet-style accommodation gives such a cozy and nature-friendly vibe, really sets the mood for a relaxed stay.Darshan, the host, is truly amazing—super warm and helpful throughout. The traditional Nadan breakfast was a highlight, full of local flavors and cooked with love! Dinner, however, was just average—nothing to complain about, but nothing memorable either.One honest suggestion: the bedding and toiletries need a serious upgrade. The place has so much potential, and with just a bit more attention to comfort and quality, it could easily be a next-level property.Overall, a great experience for those who want temple proximity, nature vibes, and genuine hospitality. Would love to come back once they fix the small gaps.

Beautiful peaceful location not too far from Thirenelli Temple so easily accessible by bus from Mananthavady (if using public transport).The staff were exceptional (Suraj, Darshan and Arjun) and were always happy to help out / give advice. Loved our riverside walk with Suraj and Anjum.I’d hoped to do the Brahmagiri trek but discovered it was going to cost 7500 rupees (that’s the rate for foreigners albeit up to 5 people for that price) and as one person, it was too expensive!The food in the restaurant was great and reasonably priced. Need to pre-order (but not a problem for us).

Our bungalow was ok - adequate but for the price we paid, we’d have expected better quality towels and bedding. For some reason (despite following instructions) we couldn’t get hot water. There were rats in the roof - didn’t see them but could hear them?.Overall, though, we had a great experience.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Agraharam Resort in Thirunelli, and I must say, it was a truly magical experience. Nestled inside a lush forest, the resort is the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life. The surroundings are incredibly calm and quiet, with the only sounds being the chirping of beautiful birds. I even had the chance to spot some amazing wildlife such as elephants, Indian gaur, and deer during my stay.The resort itself is well-maintained, with a clean pool to relax in and neat and tidy rooms. The service staff were excellent, always ready to help with a smile, and the food served was delicious. I felt completely safe during my stay, as the resort is secured with electric fencing.One of the highlights of my stay was the proximity to the famous Thirunelli Mahavishnu Temple. It was just a short walk away, making it convenient to visit and explore. Additionally, there is a beautiful river nearby where I enjoyed taking evening walks and taking in the stunning views.Overall, my time at Agraharam Resort was nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway in the midst of nature.

It was a great stay in wayanad. Those who are looking for a calm atmosphere in between the mountains can opt for this property. The staff and the location were the highlight as they were super helpfull with all the needs specially suraj and darshan. the breakfast menu was i would say a bit limited but everything was tasty. Spent a lot of time walking through the village , to kalindhi river , evening visit to temple , safaris all were great . For the price we pay , felt they offered a great stay .

Location was great and the staff was extremely good and helpful.

Access from main road to property ( 100 mts ) is in pretty bad shape.

*Peaceful Place with Great Staff!"** Agraharam Resort is a hidden gem surrounded by nature. The staff, especially Prajosh were friendly and helpful. Manager Suraj made sure we had everything we needed. The pool with its hill view was so relaxing. We also loved the night safari and the visit to Kalindhi River, where we got beautiful pictures thanks to Arjun. The Brahmagiri trek was a great adventure. The cottages were neat and had a cozy, traditional feel. This place is perfect for families or anyone who wants to relax and enjoy nature. Definitely recommend it!

Amazing Stay with Friendly Staff!We had a great time at Agraharam Resort! Manager Suraj and the team—Darshanwere so welcoming and helpful. The cottages were clean and had a lovely traditional vibe.

Cottage had sufficient space for 2 individuals. Location was great, 2-3 min drive to the Thirunelli Temple. Also, options for hiking and organised trips into the protected forest areas.Food was tasty. Vishnu (Staff) was very professional and friendly. He has very good knowledge of the location and surrounding areas and was able to guide us to plan our activities during the stay.

Excellent location close to Thirunelli temple and Brahmagiri hills. Peaceful greenery with swings and hammocks. One member of staff assigned to each villa. Darshan was very attentive and helpful.Campfire on one night, which was very pleasant.Great location and friendly staff let down by poor amenities and dated infrastructure

Old and dated rooms and furniture. Walls had damp on them-see picture. Very basic furniture in the living room. No amenities in bathrooms. Food on first night was poor with dal the only vegetarian option. Food improved slightly after that but still quite basic. No snacks with evening tea. Way overpriced for what it offers.

Location is great and the drive to the property is very beautiful.

Staff were not very reactive or attentive to details. The room had a musky smell and it was clear the bedding had not seen sunlight for sometime. The food was very average and the breakfast spread was extremely basic (the bread was not even fresh!). The pool was also not very cleanly maintained; same with the play facilities - bicycles were not working; the carrom board was super rough and the TT racquets were hardly usable!

This property is amidst nature. It is so close to Thirunelli temple and you get the spiritual vibe. Prajosh was our representative assigned for our stay and he was very cooperative and helpful. The entire staff is very welcoming. We had infants with us and Prajosh was arranging requirements to make our stay comfortable. I do highly recommend to stay in Agraharam resorts. We really enjoyed the indoor and outdoor games and Jango who is guard dog there who accompanies visitors on their walks. You can get night safari arranged and there is a high chance to see elephants, bisons and many other animals.

Our stay at Agraharam Resorts in Thirunelly, Wayanad, was simply wonderful and deserves a 10-star review. Surrounded by the beauty of the Brahmagiri mountains, the resort provided a peaceful and natural escape that we’ll always remember.The food was outstanding—easily the best we had during our travels in Wayanad. We enjoyed both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, and each meal was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The amazing food alone would make us return!The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Prajosh, Shinto, and Suraj for their warm hospitality and quick assistance. The social media manager was also kind and took great photos of us, which he shared with a smile.Evening riverside walks were a highlight, offering serene moments with the calming river and lush surroundings. We also enjoyed cycling around the area and playing badminton—the perfect way to end our day. The resort’s pool was a great spot to relax, and the nearby safari options, including the exciting night safari, made our visit even more memorable. Lucky to spot elephants, wild gaur, langurs, and sambar deer, which added a touch of adventure to our stay.The rooms were cozy and comfortable. While not a modern luxury resort, it offers fantastic value for the price.With its lovely ambiance, amazing staff, great food, and beautiful setting, we’ll definitely be back!

Excellent location; Staff was very helpful & courteous; The cottages are nice and overall the resort is well planned out; Good value for money overall!

Food - the breakfast is really passable!! Options is limited (which is normally fine) but the quality of the options were not up-to-mark! The corn was old and musky whereas the main dish often lacked any taste. The chutney (except the last day) was mostly just water and some salt! Dinner was so ordinary we had it only one day! Food plays a major part of the "trip satisfaction" so this was a bit tough!Another thing was the overall maintenance (or the lack of it!) - The bicycles were not usable; the TT racquets were all broken (but thankfully still usable); the extra bed has likely not seen the sun for a while and one of the rooms leaked of some powder from all over the roof (termites?). The swimming pool is decent but there is a "floating" lighting with (currently) covered cables that brought back to memory of recent tragic electrocution of a kid in an hi-fi apartment swimming pool due to corroded cable - best to "simplify" the lighting!And finally while the staff meant well - they lacked professionalism! An example is a request to change the room of my friend (for whom the roof was leaking some sort of powdered wood). While we were away, without any notice, they shifted the room - bags, clothes and all! They should have informed early and allowed my friend to at least complete the packing before such a room transfer!

Room size and location

No amenities or guest supplies provided. Bad maintenance, average facility

Lovely location with forests all round. Lovely swimming pool. Excellent, helpful and friendly staff who went out of their way to take me to local village festival and pick me back up. The staff could not have done more to make my stay a success.

Unexpected ability to take a night safari and we greatly enjoyed the gardens as shown us by the friendly Darshan.

We liked the location of the property. We also liked how the rooms/villas are situated within the property. The property is pretty big with ample space available for car parking and leisure walks in the property. The property is also surrounded by various trees. We also liked the food.

The room type - Villa, lacks amenities such as adequate storage space (cupboards) and sitting chairs. Also we did not get hot water from the geyser. It was only lukewarm.
