Escape to elegance, embrace serenity
The story
In the evergreen heart of Thekkady, cardamom and pepper grow between the cottages. Blanket Days was built into its spice plantation, not on top of it — twenty-one stone-faced cottages, a treehouse above the pond, and a private viewpoint at Mottakunnu where the Western Ghats unroll to the horizon.

The Rope Course
Burma bridge, cargo net, sky-high swing walks — a full adventure course strung through the trees, with archery and zip lines below.

Farm to Table
Vegetables and herbs come from the resort's own garden to Chamomile's kitchen — watch the live cooking, then taste the distance food didn't travel.
