Be prepared for a unique mind blowing experience if you love nature! Else just stay away! A special thanks to Shaji, Mammootyikka and Shabeer for making our stay fantastic! A true paradise for nature lovers. Was a perfect holiday in every sense of the word.

We, a gang of 8 friends, spent 2 days in Fringe ford last May. It is one the best vacations i have had. Once we got down in Manantawadi, we had the Manager Mammooty waiting for us. Little did we know then that how different the next 40 odd hours were going to be. The drive from Manantawadi to estate... More

What can i say about fringeford ? That it is remote while being situated 45 minutes from cars homes noise . That it is frozen in time - cut off from the outside world , tucked away in the heart of greenery which makes one feel that adventure is around the corner and that peace is tucked under your hammock...

This is the second time we have stayed here and it was as perfect as the last. Fantastic bird life, and there is always a chance of seeing something bigger on the walks guided by Shaji - so knowledgeable and such a nice guy. Do do the walks - but make sure you take long trousers and boots or shoes... More

This is not a place to go serious trekking although the guided walks are great, it's not place to see guaranteed elephants although the evidence (for elephants and tigers) is all around, it's a place to wonderfully escape. Properly escape...no phone signal, wifi, people, cars, aeroplanes - you get the idea. We had three nights and that was about right... More

Fringe Ford was worth the long trip by car from Bangalore. Once there, the exotic birds sing and dance all over, making one relax while gazing out to the greenery all around. Comfortable bathrooms and bedrooms, excellent food (super variety and really yummy) and the service by the staff was also excellent. Felt safe and relaxed. Enjoyed the treks and... More

I would call it the most excellent experience ever... Perfect place for a honeymoon. I was in two minds to get into the forest for a honeymoon trip but Fringe Ford proved me wrong. What a kickass place. Top of the line accos, finger licking food, breathtaking location, lovely treks, amazing campfires. My wifey and I spent 3 nights at... More

Was fortunate to spend three nights in October at Fringe Ford. It is a spectacularly beautiful place. Best part is, it is really far, far away from the maddening crowd. No mobile phone signal, no television, so you really get the feeling of being away from the city and surrounded by nature. Some extremely beautiful walks can be taken from... More

My husband and I spent 3 nights at Fringe Ford in September. We absolutely loved it! We were collected as planned from the petrol station in Talapoya and taken by jeep the 40 minute drive from the main road to Fringe ford. After this drive you realise you are truly isolated and right in the jungle. It is beatiful! The... More
