More news about Golden peak Resort @ Ponmudi.

On September 15, KTDC will introduce Golden Peak, a premium cottage property at Ponmudi, to the public. Tourism Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan will inaugurate the property. Golden Peak will consist of 14 rooms in nine cottages. Besides, the property will have a restaurant and a conference hall. Another 15 rooms will soon be added, a top KTDC official told Express.

Of the many Ponmudi-related packages under the consideration of the KTDC, the one-day ‘sea to hill odyssey’ seems to hold tremendous promise.

“A tourist taking a week-long vacation at Kovalam can avail of this one-day package and travel up the Ponmudi hills to the Golden Peak. At the Peak, we will be able to organise eco-tourism programmes like trekking and birdwatching for them,’’ the top official said. The ‘sea-to-hill odyssey’ could, according to the official, add to the tourism potential of Kovalam.

The 100-capacity conference hall, too, has been taken over by the KTDC.

“This means that Ponmudi can be converted into an ideal destination where residential high-level conferences can be organised,’’ the official said.

KTDC has described the latest addition to its stable as, ‘A new high in God’s Own Country’.

Golden Peak will have three types of rooms: Suites, premium rooms and deluxe ones. A suite will cost Rs 4,000 a day; a premium room, Rs 2,500 a day and a deluxe room, Rs 1,900 a day.

Good to see that they are charging rates starting with Rs.1900. Hope the services will also be good. I have stayed there about 10 years back at the Guest House. I do not remember the exact rate now, but it was damn cheap. Other issue was that you have to get the booking through some department in Secretariat. That time we had just dropped down there during night and persuaded the staff to give us room without booking.

- Ponmudi will also see Kerala's first five star in a hill station soon, involving a major international hotel chain. The project is currently held up in red tape, hope that gets resolved soon.
