Cardamom County

Cardamom County

Periyar Tiger Reserve
, Kerala
, India

Cardamom County is a nature retreat tucked away in Periyar’s cloud-hugging Cardamom Hills on the very borders of this reserve, part of the Xandari portfolio of lodgings. Its design reflects the desire to conserve its natural surroundings, with spacious cottages constructed cleverly along the natural contours of the thickly- wooded hill. Focused at it base, is an organic garden, an inviting sculptured swimming pool and its main reception area and open air restaurant. Radiant bird songs awake the traveller each morning before a cup of tea arrives and another exciting day in this verdant natural haven begins.
