The spice garden is managed by Mr Abraham family and is spread over many acres. When we arrived, it was raining heavily. We took out our umbrellas and started the tour. It’s feels like everything is there in the garden and Mr Abraham shares such interesting facts, uses and varieties, medicinal qualities etc that one is amazed at how beautifully such a garden has co-existed. Each and every inch of the garden is planted with something and is a treat to walk around. Highly recommended if anyone is in Thekaddy. Don’t miss out the organic products which can be bought at his home. ????????

We took a cruise on the lake on a rainy windswept day and managed to sight several bison, deer, egrets and cormorants on well run and life raft equipped passenger ferry boats. Well worth the time and the money. Sitting on the side seats makes photography easier
