At the edge of Kollengode, a village steeped in tradition, lies Seethavanam, a 30-acre sanctuary cradled by the Western Ghats overlooking the sacred Seetharkund waterfalls. Seetha Devi, the beloved consort of Lord Rama is believed to have bathed in these crystal waters, thus forming the Gayathri River — a gentle flow that transforms into the mighty Bharathapuzha, shaping Kerala’s rich poetry, music, and its very soul. Seethavanam sits where wilderness begins. Home to elephants, deer, and the soft footsteps of the wild. It shares a border with the Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary, and lies within the Palghat Gap, a natural corridor where winds, cultures, and stories have passed for centuries. Yet even in this deep solitude, you are not without comfort. Seethavanam offers a rare harmony: total disconnection from the noise of civilization, paired with the comforts of modern living. Here, time slows, silence deepens, and nature begins to speak.
