Perched on the forest’s edge in the heart of the Palghat Gap, Seethavanam’s bungalow opens out to sweeping views of the Seetharkund waterfalls and the lush countryside of Kollengode. Rooted in the traditional style of old Palakkadan homes, the structure blends seamlessly with the landscape with terracotta-tiled roofs, hand-laid terracotta floors, and seasoned palmyra wood all coming together to create a space that feels warm, grounded, and timeless.

Inside, the two private rooms (Maya and Moksha) each feature ensuite bathrooms, combining natural textures with modern simplicity.

At the heart of the bungalow is Ananda Thara, a shared sit-out that offers uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Western Ghats. From here, you can gaze across mango orchards and coconut groves, catch the mist rolling over the Nelliyampathy Hills, and, spot the forest canopy of the Parambikkulam Wildlife Reserve in the distance.

Above, a wooden upper deck, Parnashala, invites slow mornings and starlit evenings. With its palmwood flooring and elevated perch, it’s a quiet space to reflect, read, or simply listen to the forest breathe.

The estate itself is alive with the rhythms of the wild with elephants, deers, sambar deers, wild boars, and monkeys often seen passing through, while a variety of birds and reptiles add their quiet presence to the surroundings.
