A Laurie Becker style house, this homestay offers a captivating village tourism experience. The family resides here, which ensures you are safe, you get to interact & relish home cooked food.
Slow travelers have a great opportunity to experience village life up-front; just seep into the place; work in the kitchen garden; watch the cattle and poultry in the backyard; take a cycle or bike to ride through the village by lanes, across paddy fields and tiny shops and get invited in the neighbourhood for a tea or attend the evening ritual at the nearby temple or church.
One also gets to cook with the mother of the house, learn the use of spices and pick up a few recipes. And shop from her small spicery; premium spices, coconut oil, cashews, home-made masalas, chutneys, pickles and some village art too.
Apart from local attractions the homestay is within 2 hours of popular tourist destinations; Munroe Islands, Jatayu's Earth Centre, Thenmala Adventure Sports & Waterfalls, Paravur, Varkala Beach and Alleppey.
