Quiet By The River

Enveloped by the Malayattoor forest, the riverside lodge allows you to experience nature in all its forms. From the harried and time-crunched city dweller seeking some peace and quiet, to the adventurer who can’t wait to get out and explore, there is something for everyone at Quiet by the River.

The adventure begins as soon as you start the journey to the river lodge - a 30-minute drive up a rugged path through the forest. Look carefully and you may just spot an elephant on the way up. Once you reach the embarkation point, a country canoe picks you up to help you traverse the last part of the journey. The rhythmic sound of the bamboo oars in water, the pleasant sound of the gurgling Periyar river and the chirping of birds welcome you to a world that is a far cry from the sights and sounds of city life. Feel the stress melting away as you take a deep breath and watch the beauty of nature unfold. One of Malayattoor’s best kept secrets, Quiet by the River is located on a 47-acre island that allows you to pause and experience the wonder of nature, one unhurried moment at a time.

Dining

Variety is the spice of life. At Quiet by the River, the menu changes daily, making every meal a pleasant surprise as well as a feast. Go beyond the tried and tested fare and delve into authentic dishes and forgotten recipes that have been unearthed and recreated for guests. The use of a variety of spices is sure to give your taste buds an experience of Kerala cuisine that you will not forget in a hurry. Kerala cuisine spans centuries and each region boasts of its own specialties. Great care is taken to create a homely environment and guests are asked for their tastes and preferences during their stay. Many of the ingredients used to prepare the dishes are grown in the organic garden located within the lodge. Proximity to the Periyar river means fresh river fish takes pride of place on the dining table. In addition to the delicious food, they also offer unique dining experiences. Enjoy an unforgettable candlelit dinner right on the banks of the Periyar surrounded by the forest with the spectacular night sky above. You can also ask the chef to pack a picnic basket for you for a unique meal by the riverside or while exploring the forest.
