Journey
back in time to holidays at the Tharavadu - ancestral homes
of Kerala. The Farm house is a heritage ancestral home
constructed during Tippu Sultan's era. Furnished in all
traditional charm and glory, with antique furniture and artifacts,
it even has a 'Macchu' (attic) converted into a fun room, where
children can play in a world of their own.
 |
The
thick canopy of tall trees offers a natural habitat to
a variety of birds. Listening to the soft cooing of the
doves and frolicking with rabbits, geese, turkeys, pheasants,
ducks and goats, provide an opportunity to appreciate
the bounty of nature. |
|
The
Farm House is surrounded by beautifully manicured lawns
with a natural 'Kulam' and 'Kadavu' where feeding the
fish can be fun.
A
cruise through the Backwaters and Periyar river would
be a delightful way to get a closer look at life in the
backwaters and in the surrounding villages. Go fishing
if you like for some of the most delicious catches. |
The
Ayurvedic Rejuvenation Centre offers revitalising massages and
therapy based on the ancient 'Kalari' method. Presentation of
the traditional and cultural art forms of Kerala will enliven
your evening.
An
ideal holiday to relax in the ambience of traditional surroundings,
with
Naadan (Local) cuisine to tempt your palates, and set amidst
the scenic 'Royal Village'. The Farm house with its exotic
birds and small animals wandering around, provides a holiday
guaranteed to please the young and the not so young. |
