| Accommodation |
|
 |
| |
| The
Periyar River Lodge is aesthetically built,
with the 75-year-old basic structure in teakwood
still in immaculate condition, and an added
extension to this basic wooden structure to
expand it into a traditional 'nalukettu'. |
|
| |
 |
| |
 |
| The
architectural concept of a 'nalukettu,'
of an open courtyard in the middle of
the house with the four wings of the
house built around this open courtyard,
is a genre of ancient Hindu architecture
in Kerala that was used to accommodate
the erstwhile joint-families. |
|
|
| |
|
 |
The
Lodge contains 2 bedrooms, each of which
is configured with either a double bed
or two single beds, with attached en
suite bathroom with all modern amenities.
The bedrooms are completely made of
wood with large wooden windows overlooking
the river. |
|
|
| |
 |
| |
|
 |
| In
keeping with this distinctive architecture,
the bathrooms have open-air rooftops
and provide facilities of a modern urban
setup. |
|
|
| |
|
| |
|
 |
| A
spacious lounge separates the two bedrooms,
with the open central courtyard beside
it. There is a clear view of the Periyar
River in front of the Lodge from this
lounge. |
|
|
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
 |
Towards the rear end of the 'nalukettu' is the dinning
room and attached pantry.... |
|
|
 |
| Built
around the lodge is a large verandah
where guests can relax on the traditional
'Charu Kasera' (leaning
chair) or the comfortable swing, for
an unfiltered view of the Periyar River
amidst contiguous hills and the luxuriant
green forests. |

Service |
| We
hope to impart an experience of Kerala, both
relaxed and personalized, with high standards
of service. We have an in-house cook and caretaker
to attend to the needs of our guests. Our
caretaker (English-speaking) oversees all
requirements that our guests have including
organizing specific treks or tours that suit
our guests’ interests to ensure they
have a comfortable and memorable stay. |
|
|
|
Cuisine |
| We
believe in keeping things simple but delicious.
The menu has both vegetarian and non-vegetarian
options to choose from a limited list. The
cuisine, essentially Keralite, gives our guests
the opportunity to savor some of Kerala’s
well-known tastes and flavours. Alternatively,
for those guests who seek to spend most of
their time outdoors, we do provide packed
breakfast and lunch. Our guests would need
to inform us in advance of any special dietary
requirements to enable us to make appropriate
arrangements. |
