By The Riverside
Wrapped in the wilderness
Set on a coconut farm in the scenic area of Pollachi, By the Riverside, as its name suggests, is surrounded by nature.
Staying here is about getting off-grid and being close to nature while living life like a local person. It’s a wonderful setting with the Sarcarpathy River bordering the property. Wake to the sound of bird song before setting off on a walk through the farm for a glimpse into rural India. Head deeper into the jungle on a guided wildlife trek where you may encounter giant squirrels, sambar deer and elephant. Explore the nearby villages where you can see pottery and traditional handicrafts being made.
Why we love By The Riverside
-
This hidden oasis is for those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of Indian city life
-
Intentionally there are no televisions in the room as this is a place to unwind and escape modern life
-
The food is authentic Chettinad cuisine, cooked without much oil or spice and using traditional handmade recipes passed on through the family
-
The mountain-facing room is for nature lovers: you put your chair out and you can often count 30 or 40 species of birds right from your balcony
Facilities
- Restaurants & bars
- Activities
- Good to Know
Interact with the chef as you enjoy Chettinad family recipes in the dining hall which overlooks a pond.
If you want to explore, they can tailor-make experiences for you, whether you’re into handicrafts or nature. There’s an organic farm where they make soap, a village of weavers, pottery making or you can go on an immersive wildlife trek with a local
