'Ritu'- Riverside Retreat

'Ritu' - Where the River Whispers.. En route to misty Ponmudi, this river-hugging retreat blends earthen walls and soaring roofs into a sanctuary for lovers, families, and artists. Here, surreal evenings meet tasteful charm, offering a canvas for barbecue fires, pebble balancing, and morning jogs across the iron bridge toward tribal hamlets and evergreen depths. One day is rarely enough for the true explorer—assuming you can ever bear to leave the water’s edge. The space The Sanctuary: Open Spirit: A studio-style flow where living, sleeping, and cooking spaces dissolve into unobstructed river views. Guest access Total Immersion: Access the entire house, lush compound, and a private bathing ghat carved directly into the riverbank. Other things to note Journey Notes: Located in Kallar, an hour from Trivandrum. At the 26th mile bus stop, a small road leads 50 meters to your door. While bikes and small cars can descend, parking on the quiet main road is recommended for ease.
