Down by the river

Anaikatti

TThere are things money can’t buy but then come along an experience like sipping coffee by the pool under a canopy of coconut and palm trees which almost makes you believe it can. And that is exactly why a weekend getaway to Anaikatti—by the Siruvani (a Sterling holidays resort), the newest property by Sterling Holidays, is a great idea if you’re looking for a break from the chaos of city life. The frustration that comes with being unable to use your phone, however, melts almost immediately as you step out of your car and onto the driveway. You’re greeted with a view of lush green trees, sounds of chirping birds and the river gushing by—just about everything you need to reconnect with life. The resort, which boasts of 33 rustic but well-equipped cottages, lies amidst the Silent Valley National Park, offering visitors a rich wildlife experience. The resort is about 55 km from Coimbatore airport GETTING THERE 6/301, Vadakottathara, Palakkad Dist, Kottathara, Kerala AT 04924227100 TEL
