Are you looking for the best massage parlors/spa in Thekkady? Tired of finding the real and authentic massage centers? I am sure that this article will help you to find the best Ayurvedic massage center in Thekkady. Especially if you are staying inside Periyar Tiger Reserve.

Periyar tiger reserve in Thekkady offers the best stay for tourist inside the forest. Only KTDC (Kerala Tourism Development Corporation) and forest departments are having cottages or hotels inside the tiger reserve. All other private properties are located just outside the tiger reserve and you will not get the feel of staying in the real forest anywhere else.

KTDC has three properties in Periyar Tiger Reserve. One is a premium property called Lake Palace Resort, which is located on an island inside the forest which is surrounded by lake and access to this property is only by their boat. Another one is a luxury property called ‘Aranya Nivas’ which is located just near to the boating counter and Aranya Nivas is having facilities like Spa, Swimming Pool and all. The last one is Periyar House, which is a budget property situated near to Aranya Nivas which is having rooms with forest view and doesn’t have the spa or any other facilities apart from the restaurant. But all the guest staying in their hotels can make use of the Spa at Aranya Nivas by taking a prior appointment.

The spa at Aranya Nivas is managed by Santhigiri Ayurveda Healthcare Center and they have different treatment packages available for the guests. Previously I had written an article about Santhigiri Ayurveda Massage center in Kumily, and this center inside Aranya Nivas is their outlet and far better than the one in Kumily. Treatment charges are a little higher here but it’s definitely worth for the service they are providing.

So, if you are staying in any of the KTDC Hotels in Thekkady, don’t go anywhere else for taking the massage, Santhigiri in Aranya Nivas is the best option for authentic ayurvedic massage. You can just rejuvenate your body mind and soul within the hotel premises itself.

Also, most of the massage parlors in Thekkady is running by targeting tourist from Travel agents as well as taxi drivers. They do pay a large amount as commission for them. If your taxi driver or travel agent is taking is taking you to some massage parlors, you will be charged approximately 50% extra than the real price and don’t get surprised that their commission on a sale is 50%.
