Windermere River House
The Periyar river
Five rooms on the Periyar, with jungle on the other bank.
The place
An estate house of five bedrooms right on the Periyar, with wild country on the far bank and very little in between. Four of the rooms look over the gardens and the river; the fifth is larger and loses the view for the space. South Indian cooking, done at home rather than for a restaurant.
What is there
- Four rooms onto the river, two with balconies
- Kayaking on the Periyar
- Birdwatching and wildlife on the opposite bank
- Bicycles
- Yoga
- Cooking that leans South Indian, with lighter northern dishes
Getting there
On the Periyar, a few hours inland from Kochi.
