Greenex Farms

Northern Kerala


A beautifully remote-feeling resort fringed by spice, coffee and tea plantations, 8km southwest of Kalpetta. Each of the private cottages is individually designed, most with a separate lounge, bathroom, balcony and superb views; there's also tree-house accommodation, as well as a bunker-style 12-bed dorm. There are also restaurants, a campfire, walks, activities and a swimming pond.
