We were lucky to witness a wildlife from a safe distance it was a surreal and humbling experience. But what truly stole our hearts was the breathtaking stargazing at night. The sky lit up like a masterpiece, with a view so clear and mesmerizing that we lost track of time just soaking it all in and yeah sunrise was mind blowing to watch from homestay To top it all off, the hosts arranged a surprise birthday celebration that left us speechless! The hospitality here is beyond words, and it’s evident that the team goes above and beyond to create magical moments. This wasn’t just a stay—it was an adventure, a celebration, and an experience we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something truly special!

The location is very beautiful and close to nature and backwaters. The place is very well maintained. On arriving we were welcomed by Ms Prutha and Maheshji. The staff was extremely nice and friendly. The food is home cooked which is delicious especially the "rasam." The rooms are spacious and comfortable with an excellent ambience and the washrooms are very clean and hygienic.There are a lot of games both Indoor and outdoor and we had fun playing all the games. The most fun we had was in “Theppa ride” on the backwaters. There is a watch tower from which the view of the surrounding nature is very beautiful. If you are a nature lover and are planning a trip with your friends or family then what are you waiting for …. Book fast and enjooooy....

I was mesmerized by the environment at this place. The location had an amazing scenic and green environment. It was such a homely feeling with the wonderful hosts who were always making sure that the stay was comfortable. We were treated to tasty homelike food. The food was tasty because most of the ingredients were locally sourced or grown in the nearby farms. The homestay had lots of activities including games, nature walk and a great time at the backwaters close by. The experience of the thrilling theppa (coracle) ride should not be missed by anyone. We all had a great time at the bonfire on Saturday night. I must say that the clear pollution free sky made for an amazing opportunity for star gazing. We stayed overnight on Saturday and returned on Sunday afternoon. The lunch, dinner and breakfast we had there was absolutely delicious. We left the place with fond memories that will last for a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend this homestay to all.
