About the campsite

Located amidst Periyar Tiger Reserve, Gavi & Konni Reserve; Sathram is a land of emerald green mountains interspersed with beautiful tea plantations & dense forests. Sathram used to be the traditional Sabarimala route. The word Sathram means a resting place in Tamil & Malayalam.

Unique mound-like meadows around Sathram makes for a great off-road driving place.
