Getting here
Thrissur, in central Kerala
The retreat is outside Thrissur town, among paddy fields. A real site shows the exact location and a map; this demo names the city only.
- By air: Cochin International Airport is about 1.5 hours by road. Pickup on request, from ₹2,500 each way.
- By train: Thrissur railway station is on the main Kerala line; we collect guests from there too.
- When to come: many guests choose the monsoon months of Karkidakam (July to August) for a quiet, traditional stay. Book early for April and May, when Thrissur Pooram fills the town.
