Description:
Our services and capabilities are in the sector of tourism and leisure industry along with organic farming, agriculture and livestock development. The Resort is situated at Kenichira in Wayanad district of Kerala, popularly known as "Gods Own Country" in the tourism and leisure industry. This is a real experience to stay in a seventy five years old Kerala Style heritage bungalow and tree house surrounded by acres of organic farm with spices, fruit trees, and livestock. The farm, situated on a river bank, grows cardamom, vanilla, coffee, pepper, ginger, turmeric, coconut, arecanut, rubber, banana, mango, jack fruit, vegetables etc. with hen, ducks , birds and rabbits playing around. Max and Lobo, two well trained dogs add to the attraction and security along with the barbed wire fence. Across the river is a tropical forest with wild life, animals, birds and a wide spectrum of flora fauna. Accommodation is provided in family suite, deluxe rooms or tree house to the choice of the customer subject to availability. Traditional Kerala style menu prepared from organic farm grown products is an attraction. Recreation facilities include badminton and indoor games. Our friendly staff will provide you a homely atmosphere and English speaking guides take you around to various Wayanad tourist spots for site seeing and adventure. Due to our unique location and ability to provide quality services Hiliya Resort has emerged as a leading name in Wayanad- Kerala tourism.
