We stay close to nature, and hold nature close to our hearts.
Most of us are wildlife photographers, environmentalists, teachers and writers. At Thennal we have done everything we can to let you stay as close to nature as possible, from our rooms and location to the experiences we offer. Because we appreciate nature-lovers as much as we appreciate nature.
Our approach
Thennal stays far away from commercialisation. We have roads only where there are no trees. We let every plant grow and every butterfly flutter by.
So while you are here, we kindly ask you not to disturb nature in any way.
Green policy
We provide purified drinking water across Thennal and keep plastic bottles at bay.
Campfires are not promoted at Thennal, as part of our effort to reduce our carbon footprint.
Solid waste is treated and turned into organic manure with the Smart Bio Bin waste management system developed by Kerala Agricultural University.
Your footprints can reduce carbon footprints. Every year we plant as many trees as we welcome visitors, through a social forestry programme.
We support conservation activities and studies, because the welfare of wildlife and its habitat is key to the future of a hill station like Wayanad.
