Homestays

Homestays offer a unique way to spend your holiday if you want to see the real Kerala. You will stay with a Keralan family in their own comfortable home, with all amenities. Your host family will be happy to advise you on the best places to visit, where to avoid, and how to obtain the best deals when shopping. 
We have carefully chosen homes owned by notable members of the local community. Some of these homes are more than a hundred years old and offer excellent comfort and hygiene standards. The interaction with the house owners will enhance your holiday experience. 
 

Holidaying in a homestay with a local family provides the opportunity to see Kerala from a different perspective which cannot be provided by normal run-of-the-mill holidays. You will always receive a warm welcome and experience the local customs, food and hospitality. The friendly people of Kerala will be delighted to show you their beautiful country.
 
Many of our homestays are plantation houses and your host will be more than happy to give you the full guided tour of the plantation if you wish. See crops of spices, peppers, coffee, tea, and rubber set in breathtaking mountain scenery.

Shopping in the small villages and towns reveals astonishing bargains in crafts, fabrics, and spices.

You will, of course, have your own room (many are en-suite) and all meals are included. Your hosts are always on hand to offer advice on things to see which you would never find in a Travel Agent's brochure! Why not visit the tiny village of Aranmula, the Tiger Reserve at Thekkady or the bustling backwater town of Kottayam.
You can choose to stay at several different homestay locations during your holiday, experiencing all Kerala has to offer. Or you can spend part of your holiday in homestays and part in a hotel.
