The only community owned and managed Travel Experience in Kerala, India. So we do not take any extra effort to ensure that the revenue generated by your stay with us goes directly to the community, shared by them equitably and supports our initiatives of reviving our traditions. The entire cottage is made of timber and bamboo plye and lectrified with solar power.
During the boat rides you can see Chinese fishing nets, and near the harbor, in the sea you can watch dolphins, if you are lucky. With the help of local fishermen you can fish in the lake. You can also hire a boat, boatman and fishing nets to fish in the major water ways and the shallow seas. To spend time with the Chinese fishing nets in the evenings is an exciting experience. On the fishing platform you join the fishermen in cooking and eating freshly captured crabs and prawns with tapioca.
The team of village ladies who's place it is met me when I arrived. They were friendly throughout. They don't speak much English but Madhav is available by phone as needed. The location is lovely, tranquil and clean. The cabin is small, simple, clean and charming. Its quiet around there but not secluded: there are fisherman just outside in the lake, and the local kids (who are sweet) came by to see the visitor. They provide all food which was tasty (I like South Indian food). Walking around the lake was pleasant. They booked me a boat ride on the lake but this was underwhelming and a little overpriced for what it was (an extra payment was needed). I'd happily stay again.
