This man made heritage hideout is located at Vagamon, (Idukki), barely 100 kms away from Cochin International Airport, with its lake which will offer you an exhilarating sense of enjoyment the likes of which you have never seen or enjoyed before. A complete holiday experience, amidst mother nature in its most idealic form with salubrious climes. Watch the birds and pet animals in their natural habitat in close proximity to the guest dwellings. The warmth and friendliness they exude towards mankind is to be seen to be believed. Attention-grabbing sights of rabbits,parrots, lovebirds, white geese, pigeons & doves will enthrall you. Wooden nests are made for them where they come to roost.
They play the part of a perfect host in welcoming the visitors-the chirping of these birds...while short stature trees like manchiam, vembu, pine etc sway their heads in cool breeze as if in a trance. The shrubby tea, pepper, cardamom and ginger grass keep their heads fluttering as if in dance, dispersing a pleasant aroma to the surroundings.
There is an aviary where a large family of parrots and lovebird coexists without any kind of hostility. Occasionally these innocent-looking creatures are let out into the meadows to linger around with guests.
To Ayurveda, human body is composed of ‘Doshas’, ‘Dhatu’ and ‘Mahas. It dictates the social norms that help an individual maintain spiritual health. ‘Rasayana, a branch of Ayurvedic treatment, enables the diseased‘ to regain the lost vitality.

A unique chikitsa (treatment) to recharge your flagged body tissues ands cells with energy . A genuine herbal treatment to keep you in high spirits.

Get yourself admitted for rejuvenation therapy and realize how Rasayana chikitsa add to your 'Ojas'(primary vitality) and improved ‘Sattva’ (mental clarity).
No fixed menu... nothing to do with northern or western recipes... here you can pick out your choice directly from nature’s menu chest! You just name or point out from nature what you need. Be it tapioca, or banana or asparagus, you will have it on your dinner table top in ready-to-eat form. It is also an occasion for an acquaintance with the cookery excellence of native tribes. Food is prepared using traditional appliances like ammi (crushing stone) and attukallu (grinding stone), to give food preparations a taste of its kind and prevent modernity from sneaking into the bastions of traditional kitchen. Fuel for cooking fire is obtained from a small biogas plant annexed to the hideout. Biodegradable waste such as Cow dung, leftovers of vegetables etc are put to good use for biogas production.
