North Paravur, on the Periyar

Ten rooms on the Periyar, and a kitchen run by the village.

The place

A riverside house at North Paravur, on a stretch of the Periyar no itinerary has found yet, thirty-five minutes from the airport. Every room has a balcony or a veranda onto the garden and the water. The food is cooked by a team of women from the surrounding neighbourhood and is the argument for staying two nights rather than one.

What is there

  • Every room onto the river or the garden
  • Pool deck rooms down at the water
  • Malayali home cooking, served open-sided
  • Kayaks and country boats
  • Bicycles into the village
  • Ayurvedic treatments and yoga

Getting there

Thirty-five minutes from Kochi airport — the closest thing on this list to it.
