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.

"The front desk staff was good, the breakfast was excellent and tasty. Two issued I had was there was another group that was playing loud music near us and it was bothering us as we were trying to put the kids to sleep. We also had a issues where the staff was suppose to deliver a case of water we brought and they delivered it to the wrong room. They replaced it with a case but just two small issues. Overall good experience and would stay again if going through the area. "

"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

Hills & Hues

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great stay - everything is top notch - lovely room, great food, friendly staff, good service etc. The grounds around the hotel are especially nice. The pool - and views from it - are especially impressive! "

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. "

Niraamaya Cardamom Club

6/10 Okay

"We stayed here because the description says 1 minute walk from Peryvar Reserve, it is not. 15 to 20 mins out of Kumily up a very bumpy track. No atmosphere at all. No yoga offered. Evening meal not good, I complained but ignored. Chef shouting in the kitchen. Pool green. Restaurant service not good at all. The best feature is the great taxi driver who works for the hotel. Although it was a VERY expensive service. Check the details before you book. "

Spice Village - Cgh Earth

10/10 Excellent

"What a place! Just an amazing stay, thanks to brilliant staff and a super-chilled environment. The bungalows are so cute and comfortable. The grounds are so green a lush. The Tiger Team organised a great daytime and nighttime walk in the forest. We saw plenty of animals and loads of birds. Food in the main restaurant is very good. Also the cooking with spices demos are insightful. The small food place net to the bar was a bit disapointing. Overall, I couldn’t recommend Spice Village enough. A true haven of tranquility."

Amritara Shalimar Spice Garden Resort & Spa

6/10 Okay

"no accommodation or food for our driver. room was okay, no TV, no AC. service was slow The staff was not as helpful as we expected about the knowledge around the area. The stuff like slippers were a little dirty even after replacement, so not sure if they are reusing stuff. "
