Company information

We are a family-run business with our roots in Thekkady. Over the years, many of us hurried off to far corners of the world for one reason or another. But deep inside, there was always an irresistible pull to be back to be at the paradise we call home. That is why we decided to leave the hustle and bustle and start our homestay. Our passion for nature and our dedication to preserving its inimitable charm can be seen in every aspect of The Elms. From the carefully curated decor and thoughtful amenities to the delicious and locally-sourced food, every detail has been crafted with utmost care and attention. Our aim is to share the joy, blessings, and inexpressable beauty of Thekkady with you.

You may encounter some of the local wildlife; including the Indian elephant, Leopard, Sambar deer, Indian bison and if you are lucky, the magnificent Bengal Tiger.
