Our passion for nature and our dedication to preserving its inimitable charm can be seen in every aspect of The Elms. From the carefully curated decor and thoughtful amenities to the delicious and locally-sourced food, every detail has been crafted with utmost care and attention. Our aim is to share the joy, blessings, and inexpressable beauty of Thekkady with you.
