Shalimar Spice Garden located at Murikkady at 6 kms from Kumily (Thekkady) ( Kerala, India) on the fringes of the world- famous Periyar Tiger Reserve. This is an aesthetically built property with cottages in ethnic style in the midst of a cardamom estate and a great place for birding. The rooms are comfortable and have a lovely pool. Accommodation at Shalimar comprises independent cottages and Kerala Cottages with sit out and attached bath. All cottages are tiled internally and have thatched roof surrounded by thick plantation. Built on a verdant land unscathed by modernization, the Shalimar Spice Garden is a perfect blend of European and Indian living without diluting the rich heritage of Kerala. The resort merges with the spice gardens that encompass the verdant landscape bordering the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. The architecture of the cottages is a fusion of Indian concepts and Western comfort.
