Who we are
About Us
We are a family-run business with our roots in Thekkady. Over the years, many of us hurried off to far corners of the world for one reason or another. But deep inside, there was always an irresistible pull to be back to be at the paradise we call home. That is why we decided to leave the hustle and bustle and start our homestay.
