Green Woods Resort , Thekkady - Vanya Tree House 

Greenwoods is located in Kumily, atop a small hillock, hidden from the hustle and bustle of town. Its 26 rooms are spread over 6 acres of lush greenery. We have a large restaurant with open sides overlooking the manicured lawns and the swimming pool. Other facilities include a recreation centre, a mini gym, a craft centre, a library and a conference hall.) On entering our gates, a winding tarred road, flanked by tall trees, leads you to a porch with steps that lead up to the reception foyer. This main building houses the reception desk, a compact lobby, a multi cuisine restaurant, and spice shops on the ground floor flanking an open courtyard. From the reception foyer, wooden stairs lead you up towards the conference hall and the recreation centre. Wood has been extensively used for the whole area. 

Tree house Vanya, means `Wild' and the name in itself portrays the location of our standalone Tree house. This is dedicated to those who are adventurous and would love to be up, close and personal with Mother Nature. It is located in a 10 acre hillside filled with organic plantation and gigantic trees ,adjacent to the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, in Thekkady, and is the best place from where you can get a glimpse of the variety of wild animals roaming in their natural habitat. Accessible only by an uphill trek for the last kilometer, guests are taken on a 4 X 4 vehicle till the base camp. From the base camp you need to trek uphill for a kilometer to reach the drawbridge which takes you to the Tree House base. Every evening this drawbridge is folded back and then you are safe there.
