Our need to unwind and actually take time to smell the lilies by the backwaters, as it were, brought us to 976 Panangad. A former local village leader's home, this is a renovation project that took nearly three years to complete. 976 is where we come to read, watch the birds, go kayaking, swim and essentially just 'be.' Without televisions, at 976, it's all about putting those gadgets away. Here's where we unwind and wait for the world to catch up with us.
At 976 Panangad, we are passionate about perfection, and this is something you will see everywhere around the property.
We were lucky to find an architect who seemed to put into reality every idea we had only imagined . Rebuilt from scratch, with Vinod Mathews, an architect renowned for his unique award-winning projects, 976 Panangad has been created with locally-sourced material and Bawa-esque inspiration.
Every little artifact tells a story here - from lamps by the pool inspired by mussel-catching baskets to outdoor overhead lights inspired by the local Chinese fishing nets next-door (our neighbour's main source of livelihood today remains fishing).
Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, 976 Panangad is a symbol of accomplishment and inspiration drawn from hard work. This is a celebration of obsession with perfection.
What began as a small idea in terms of tourism at www.periyarriverlodge.com, 15 years ago, plays a huge part in the magnificence of what 976 Panangad is today.
Now under a larger collection of boutique luxury villas, www.one-earthproperties.com, we offer differentiated experiences in stunning locales across Kerala.
Huge travel enthusiasts, we have also turned our passion for travel into a successful business venture as co-founder at www.untravel.com
