  |
The anachady Bungalow was built in 1912 during the time when the pioneer planters opened up the Ambanad Estate adjoining the Konny Valley on the Western Ghats . The Bungalow is set up on a hill, atop a site, which was once a flocking area of elephants. Now the bungalow is owned by the TRNT Company, one of the largest estate management groups in south India . The drive up through the rough winding roads is often a little tough. The road reaches the bungalow site from the foot of the hill winding through the mixed plantations of tea and rubber. As we reach the bungalow a tiny particle with gables welcomes you into the tile-roofed steeply pitched there bayed living room. Inside there is a heavy cut-stone arch, which separate the living room from the dining room. On the north and the south ends are the bedrooms. The northern bedrooms are for the guests from which one can enjoy the full view of the mountain ranges. A long span of glass windows run across the northeastern side of the bungalow. The Bungalow is far from the madding crowd and well isolated for the true peace seekers, where are willing to shed a bit of their comforts for experiencing the fruits of solitude. |
