Indhrivanam was the most special place we stayed in India -- it was wonderful and unique. The stone cottage is the centerpiece of this experience. Morten and Sarah have put so much time and thought into this structure, and it shows. Even during the heat of the day, there is no need for air conditioning or a fan. It was... More

We were really looking forward to our stop with Morten and Sarah at their ecologically-sound cottage in the hills over kumily, and were not disappointed when we arrived. They made us feel welcome immediately, showing us around the cottage and the ins and outs of the dry toilet, electric shower with HOT water and free wi-fi, before walking up to... More

Indhrivanam is not your usual hotel. But I was well aware of that after reading the guesthouse website and exchanging mails with the owners. I was a little worried about that whole dry toilet thing and the fact that you had to eat dinner together all the time but it turned out that staying here was the best choice to... More

We stayed here for two nights during October 2011. This is a nice cottage about 10 K"M north of Kumly. The cottage is located next to the house of Morten and Sarah, a lovely couple who also serve meals. The cottage is basically located in a forest, and the environment is just like in the neighboring Periyar nature reserve minus... More

A beautifully constructed sustainable Eco House located amongst greenery. It is amazing what they have built with beautiful materials and a honest vision. The bird sounds when you wake up are overwhelming. Sarah and Morten are super welcoming and vegetarian Indian food is delicious. You feel more than welcome and we should had stay for more than two nights. The... More

It is no surprise that Indhrivanam is rated so high up on Trip Advisor’s list. A friend and myself recently spent two wonderful days there. Morten and Sarah made us feel completely at home, the surroundings/landscape was magical and the home-cooked, vegan food exceptional ! (I won’t bother with the details since the other comments on Indhrivanam seem to describe... More

Sarah and Morten have designed and developed a unique space not far from Kumily, Kerala. Their place and a cottage for guests is set in lush green foliage, with the sounds of wild life and a great place to stay if you want to get out into nature. My friend and I stayed here and were warmly welcomed and thoroughly... More

We spent 4 days at Indhrivanam in May 2011 and had an excellent stay. The location of the cottage is excellent - densely wooded, and very tranquil. You can sit on the swing outside and watch the trees, birds or the sunset, in complete peace. The trails are fun to do. The forest reserve at Thekkady and the small town... More

This year, my husband and I spent our yearly two week holiday in Kerala. Before booking our 4 days at Indhrivanam, we were a bit worried about having to use dry toilets (no experience in that!), but it wasn't a problem at all, and it actually felt very good to not waste double figure litres of water after each visit...
