Our Story

Discover the Heartbeat of Our Nature Retreat

At Tapovana, we believe in the magic of nature to rejuvenate the soul. Our cottages are designed to provide a peaceful retreat, where the beauty of the wilderness meets the comfort of home. Escape the hustle, reconnect with nature, and rediscover yourself.

Tapovana Hillside is set in a lush cardamom plantation in the serene Kumily hills above Thekkady, and The Zenest is our cozy homestay. Relax in comfort, breathe the fragrant air, and enjoy stunning Idukki mountain views — the perfect place to truly disconnect and explore Kerala’s natural beauty.
