The Resort
900 Woods is 20+ acres of picturesque landscape, set among the tropical forests and hills of thollayiram. Nature is alive, and in its purest form. An exquisite hideaway with a jungle backdrop, a naturalist's dream. Wrapped in the enchantment of a tropical rainforest, cardamom and coffee plantations, and an enormous interlaced canopy formed by majestic trees, leaf littered natural pathways fringed by tropical plants, leads you to the thatched roof restaurant and the earthen adobe built in the form of a Kerala styled Naalukettu, an architecture influenced by the vernacular of the region. Built using adobe (mud blocks), sourced on site, and an smart mix of natural ingredients, and a traditional tiled roofing, this provides a cool and comfortable stay all year around. The accommodations are spacious, equipped with modern amenities and verandas that look out at fabulous views of the gigantic trees and lush green landscape - an intimate experience of the vista and music of the jungle.
Mornings start with the rousing melodies of birds, and the Giant Red Squirrel begin their antics. The reverberating sounds of the ever-elusive Giant Hornbill fills the air. The day ahead is ripe with possibilities - splendidly plumed tropical birds on overhanging branches, colourful butterflies and the occasional monkeys. Sunlight peeps in through the dense top green cover, the irresistible lure of the jungle. Evenings are generally welcomed by the Orthopteras' with their well synchronised sound effects resembling the Mexican wave. The incessant throb of nature is the only clock you will need here. Allow yourself to be seduced by the promise of discovery, bliss and exaltation - body, mind and soul.
