What people usually ask, before they book.

Cochin International Airport is 42 km away, usually an hour's drive. Pre-paid taxis are available at the airport, or we can arrange a car for you - recommended if you're arriving at night, since airport drivers aren't always familiar with our village.

Thrissur Railway Station, the nearest major rail head, is about 13 km away. Same choice there: a taxi from the station, or a car arranged through us ahead of time.

Not within the property, but two charging stations are within a 2 km radius.

Yes, ample parking inside our gated compound, with no parking fee.

Deluxe and Superior rooms, a family suite of two Superior rooms either side of a shared living room, and two tree houses by the Karuvannur river. All are air-conditioned. More on each in Stay.

Check-in is from 2pm, check-out by 11:30am. We stay flexible on both when the rooms allow it.

Yes, free Wi-Fi throughout the rooms and immediate room areas. The compound is large with a lot of open ground, so coverage can thin out in the gardens further from the buildings.

A prior reservation is always recommended, and we seldom take walk-ins - none at all after 5pm. Call ahead and we can usually confirm a short-notice booking if there's availability.

Kerala cuisine, mostly vegetarian, with fish and meat when you'd like. We're also happy to make North Indian dishes - pulao, chapati, paneer and the like.

Diets are not a special request here: sattvic, vegan, no onion or garlic, a gluten problem - all of it is ordinary.

Neelambari doesn't hold a licence to sell alcohol. Guests are welcome to bring their own and enjoy it in their room. It isn't permitted in the common areas, lawns or dining area.

Pets are welcome in our Deluxe rooms - let us know ahead of your stay so the room is ready for them.

Children are welcome. There's a lot of open ground to roam, plus a small play area.

For overnight guests: nine rooms, plus a villa within walking distance available by prior arrangement, host around 30-40 people comfortably.

For a wedding or event using our outdoor venues rather than overnight rooms, capacity is much larger - up to 500-600 guests. Full-property buyouts are available for both. See Weddings for the event side, or Retreats for a group staying together.

Yes - the spa and yoga hall aren't reserved only for retreat groups; sessions are arranged around your stay.

Yes, most need only a day's notice - performances and the painting session need a little more. See Experiences for the full list.

UPI, card, cash, and bank transfer.

Yes - one room has ramp access, most of the property is wheelchair-reachable, and we keep a wheelchair on site. Let us know in advance so we can plan properly and look after you well.

More than 30 days before arrival, 10% of the booking. Between 30 and 15 days, 50%. Under 15 days, the full amount. Full detail, including weddings and events, is on Policies.
