The seat of contemplation has moved

We call this our 'seat of contemplation'. Overlooking the Vembanad lake, the seat has been known to have sparked off many a poem, song and lent sustenance to many a romance, and some guests have found themselves lighter of the cares of the world that they brought with them. Situated in front of our lake view cottages, at dawn you can watch the sun come up over the horizon sipping your morning cuppa. Fishermen row their canoes, gathering their nets filled with the nights catch. Later in the day, motor launches, barges laden with produce and houseboats with tourists will pass by. Around noon birds will perch on the ends of stilts that stick out of the water, patiently scanning the water for signs of food. One can even string up a hammock between the trees, get yourself a cool drink and immerse yourself in a favorite book. Or just relax and soak in the peace and quite with only a gentle afternoon breeze for company. Come evening and after the sun has set, the lawns are ideal for a candlelight dinner. Our resort manager will be happy to set a table for you. On prior intimation barbecues, ethnic music and dance performances can be organized here.

We have this habit of moving this bench around, to kind of get another perspective on the world as it were. But for everyone who stays with us, this is one of the most beautiful views to wake up to.
