There is much to see and do around Serenity, most of which can be done under your own steam. They have their own mountain bikes which you can borrow and cycle through the local villages. It is worth looking around the local rubber plantation, and the wider area has coffee, pepper, cocoa, pineapple, tapioca, cardamom, banana and papaya plantations. They offer a cookery class with the local chef if you want to sharpen up your Indian cookery skills. In terms of places to see, the small temple at Ettunmanur has some amazing frescoes, and the churches in Kottyam are interesting.
