When is the best time to go to Sannidhanam?

The best time to visit Sannidhanam is during the Mandala-Makaravilakku season, which typically runs from mid-November to mid-January. This period is considered the most auspicious for pilgrimage to the Sabarimala Ayyappan Temple, which is the primary reason people visit Sannidhanam. The weather during these months is generally cooler and more comfortable for the trek up the hill, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C. Pilgrims will find the temple's rituals and ceremonies at their most active and vibrant during this time. For pilgrims who prefer a less crowded experience, the temple also opens for five days each Malayalam month. These short windows, outside of the main pilgrimage season, offer a more serene environment for worship and reflection.

"This is a newly built camping style place. The rooms are nice for the outdoor location. Working ceiling fans, sliding glass doors. I spent some time with one of the owners who has great English and is a great guy. It’s really a great location to make as a home camp to take safari jeeps from, which the site can easily order for you. They also can arrange walking trips through the wild park with a park ranger. Great group of people running this place!!"

Top Sannidhanam Hotel Reviews

Amritara Shalimar Spice Garden Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hospitality. Nice people, beautiful property, great food."

Hills & Hues

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Hills & Hues, Thekkady was an awesome experience. Nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Western Ghats, the property offers breathtaking views that can be enjoyed right from the rooms. Waking up to mist-covered hills and panoramic landscapes each morning was both relaxing and rejuvenating. The staff deserve special recognition for their warm hospitality, friendliness, and attentiveness. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their courteous service added greatly to the overall experience. The resort also offered a variety of well-organized activities that cater to guests of different interests, making it easy to unwind without having to leave the property. Whether enjoying the facilities, exploring the surroundings, or simply taking in the stunning views, there was always something to do. The food, ambiance, and overall upkeep of the resort were excellent, creating a memorable and relaxing getaway. The only drawback we found was the layout of the property. Since the rooms are situated along a steep slope, accessing the main restaurant and common areas was challenging, particularly for guests over 60 years of age. Overall, Hills & Hues offers a beautiful blend of luxury, nature, and hospitality. Despite the challenge posed by the steep terrain, our experience was exceptional, and we left with wonderful memories of our time in Thekkady."

The Grand

8/10 Good

"All good but there was a confusion about breakfast. Hotel staff told me that breakfast was not included but when I booked it clearly says breakfast included. Someone the hotel.com communication with Grand hotel did not mention about free breakfast. This caused confusion and time. When sending communication to the hotel please mention about breakfast is included. This will help the process. Please clarify why this confusion. "
