SCIENCE OF LIFE
Ayurveda
Ayurveda means the 'science of life'. It is an ancient system of preventive medicine, which provides remedies for illnesses and prescribes ideal lifestyles to prevent the onset of sickness and disease. Excellent treatments are available at Sahyadri Ayurvedic Hospital 6 kms from Paradisa.
EXPLORE
Plantations
There is plenty to do besides soaking up the peace and quiet. A trek through the plantation is an education. See the cultivation and harvesting of coffee, cardamom, cloves and pepper. The tea plantations and factory are well worth a visit. The scenic countryside invites you to take long walks. The heady combination of raw nature and the clean air is a potent restorative.
GOLF
Nine Hole Course
Paradisa Plantation Retreat is a corporate member of the Peermade Club, an old planters' club dating back to the time of the British in India. The quaint club has a nine hole course where our guests may play a round of golf. Golf Clubs are available at Paradisa.
ADVENTURE
Trekking
For those who need a bit of action, there are many trekking routes to suit the capability of the novice or the expert. Less adventurous but thoroughly exhilarating, flying a kite at Panchalimedu lets you rediscover the child in you.
EXCURSIONS
Retreat as Your Base
Using the Retreat as your base, you could visit Periyar Tiger Reserve which is only 37 kilometers away. A visit to the organic tea factory will give you an idea of how the tea gets from the plant to your table.
KERALA CUISINE

ART
Cultural Evenings
To help you unwind at the end of the day performances of Indian classical music and dance will be staged at the restaurant. Kathakali is Kerala's legacy to the world of dance drama.
