It is indeed a retreat with a difference - each cottage has its own private sit-out from, from where on a lucky evening or early morning you get to see Wild Fowls, Flying Squirrels, Primates, Sambars or Wild Boars, all just a few feet away. The interiors are comfortable and spacious, designed to be convenient to your various needs, well appointed with cable TV and direct dial telephones.
There is also an independent Bungalow with a self-contained kitchen, living area and bedrooms that can accomodate four families comfortably well. The gourmet Restaurant is stylishly laid out and is spacious. Apart from the traditional Kerala cuisine, it offers the most delectable fare from around the world. The large open-air terrace, which also doubles as an open- air restaurant, is an ideal space for hosting private parties.
The stimulating aroma of spices, the flight of a flock of wild geese in perfect formation, the mating call of a bull-elephant, the endless humming of the crickets, the honey-dewed wild flowering trees, the frolicking of baboons and the twinkling of the fireflies at night, are a few of the smells, sights and sounds that are mesmerising.
Sandwiched between the mighty Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, Kerala is an amazingly stunning and bountiful strip of land and many a ship has set sail in search of the veritable gold mine of spices grown in the upper reaches of her forests, since time immemorial.
Bound by evergreen flora and dotted with tall shady trees entwined with pepper vines, this exotic resort is a birdwatcher's delight (over 60 different feathered friends frequent the locale) and their constant chirping perfectly compliments the peace and tranquility that makes this the ideal getaway to rediscover oneself amidst Mother Nature, at her pristine best.
Some of the outdoor activities are: * Plantation visits to the cardamom, pepper and spice plantations in the area
* Boating alongside the Periyar Water Sanctuary to see wildlife in their natural habitat
* Trekking in the forests with guides
* Elephant rides
