Places to See and Stay: Shalimar Spice - Thekkady and Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary

Only eight kilometres from Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, this delightful property blends into the surrounding hills.

Scattered on the hillside surrounded by jungle and spices the 15 Keralan guestrooms and cottages are a wonderfully peaceful experience. Each room has been carefully and uniquely decorated with traditional Indian furniture and the rooms have individual sit-out areas overlooking the beautiful spice garden where a wide variety of birds can be spotted and heard.

Spices from the garden are used in the cooking and the ‘Falling Leaves’ restaurant provides a relaxing place to take dinner. An Ayurvedic centre offers a range of treatments and there is also a small pool to further your relaxation.
