4 Days
Thodakayam
Set by the Periyar River and cocooned by the Malayattoor forest, Quiet by the River is an intimate 4-cottage property in the lap of nature. This Absolute Air experience takes you to the heart of tropical Kerala, far from the city and the bustle of urban life. Each of the independent wood-and-stone cottages are built in the traditional Kerala style, with private verandahs and serene nature views. Enjoy leisurely meals that showcase the best of local Kerala cuisine, and for a special occasion, nothing beats a candlelit dinner on the riverside. The property’s ethos is rooted in reconnecting with nature. On this 4-day private jet holiday, you can go on long nature walks, sail down the Periyar, and spend tranquil evenings surrounded by birdsong.
Located on a river island, the property offers many opportunities to explore the surrounding wilderness and waterways. Birders will delight in the rich avian life of the Malayattoor forest. Hop into a canoe to explore the Periyar and its densely forested riverbanks on a sunset sail down the water.
Learn how to cook regional specialties from the organic farm at a cooking demo conducted by a master chef. You’ll use local spices and vegetables to recreate a typical Kerala recipe.
Quiet by the River is surrounded by the Periyar river on all sides, and the unique terrain forms natural hollows in the river. These natural pools are ideal for a dip during springtime when the surrounding forest is at its greenest.

Glide down the Periyar River on a country canoe for a most serene sunset. As the sun’s last rays hit the forest, the river glows golden and the birds settle on their roosts for the night.
When the sun goes down, a walk around the property in the dark introduces you to Kerala’s many nocturnal creatures. You’ll see the forest in a completely different avatar as civets, owls, and other tiny creatures come to life.
Many factors determine what sort of aircraft is best suited to your needs. The number of passengers, luggage needs, and distance to be travelled all play a role in choosing the right jet.
In a forest far-removed from urban life, serenity and wildlife-spotting are the order of the day at a charming riverside retreat.
