Whilst travelling in Kerala in and around the backwaters at the wrong time of year in 30 degrees and 85% humidity, it came as a welcome relief for us to visit the Shalimar Spice Garden for 2 nights, where the weather was like a good English summer. We stayed in the honeymoon cottage, which was an excellent bungalow just down... More

Recently we spent three days at the Shalimar Spice Garden Hotel in Thekkady, India. This off-the-beaten- path area near the Periyar Tiger Reserve is well worth the visit if one wants a relaxing but interesting time in the northeast part of Kerala State. The property is nicely landscaped and the entrance is like walking into ShangriLa. Down steps from the... More

It's prettier than the website, pictures don't begin to describe the green, lush, natural beauty. We went on a spice plantation tour and returned to recognize the spices out our front door. If you only can go to one place in India, I would say come here!! Be prepared to walk up lots of stairs.

We stayed in Shalimar Spice Garden for 3 nights in April and had an amazing time. It's a quiet place tucked away amidst greenery. We woke up to the melodious chirping of a wide variety of birds.

Shalimar spice garden is, as advertised, a "hideaway". Not in the bustling touristy streets, but up a winding hill, in an estate. Rs 70 will fetch you an auto (tuk-tuk) ride to the town or back - see that as the cost of the ticket to seclusion. It is well worth it. Food is great, service is amazing. They accommodated... More

We arrived at the Shalimar after a very long windy journey from Munnar, consequently it took a while to appreciate it fully! The bridge into the hotel was stunning .. amazing scenery in a not particularly attractive area. With flowers, birds, butterflies and greenery everywhere. Our room was cool and quite dark with views of the grounds. A lovely touch... More

After a lengthy, visual feast of a journey around hairpin bends and an unusual "blessing" of a thunderstorm which broke the searing pre-monsoon heat, we were very pleased to arrive safely at Shalimar - a small, tranquil refuge in the Thekkady Hills. To be frank, we expected a larger spice plantation estate type set-up, with more widely spaced accommodation, so... More
