I'll be honest - I chose Sumilayam Jungle View Homestay going by the large number of good reviews and of course the price. However I was a tad bit disappointed upon reaching here. For starters, I was expecting a proper 'jungle view'. But apart from the fact that Sumilayam Jungle View Homestay is the last house on the road leading... More

We chose this homestay after reading reviews on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. We chose the most expensive room which was essentially the whole top floor with a wrap around terrace as it was said to be the best for wildlife watching. It certainly lived up to the hype and we had monkeys, including a rather a rare appearance... More

Because the weather is pleasant and people very helpful I have stayed 2 months at Jungle View. 5 star homestay from an intrepid traveler.

We had the great pleasure of staying with Rama in early December 2012. On arrival we decided to take the top floor room, which had just been finished, as it was slightly larger than the other rooms and the terrace had greater privacy. It was a great stay which we will remember for a long time. Aside from the hospitality,... More

The location is wonderful, clean rooms, hot water and a spacious balcony with jungle view. We were there with 6 people between 47 and 72 years old, not usually in a homestay. But we all were satisfied. The best was the owner Rama. He organised everything for us, from breakfast to tickets, instructed our driver and was our guide at... More

The rooms are neat & clean & very spacious. The owner (Ramachandran) & his wife Shyamala are friendly in nature and the ensured the stay was comfortable. We were on the Second floor and the best part was the balcony that had a great Jungle View. We could watch the monkeys jumping from one tree to another. The Malabar Giant... More
