Vijeesh
During the day explore the backwaters on our canoe and kayak tours which can include early morning trips, sunset rides and swimming. End your day with a delicious dinner and a relaxing evening reading, playing games or sharing time with our family. Lunch and dinner may be ordered and will be made up of traditional Keralan dishes cooked by one of the best cooks in Kerala, my mom. While we will work to accommodate food allergies we will be unable to take specific orders, since you will be enjoying the same food as our family (many vegetarian options available). We have 6 rooms available that come furnished with large beds, fans, mosquito nets and private bathrooms (with shower and western style toilet). Breakfast is included in the price. Lunch, dinner and activities are extra.
I am Vijeesh, I run the homestay with my parents. I have lived here in this tranquil part of Kerala all my life, and the past 16 years have taken hundreds of people to see the splendour of the Backwaters of Munroe Island. Let me guide you round my beautiful island, from the lakes to the backwaters and the narrow canals, my canoe will take you into places that larger vessels can not manage. Let me show you our plants, trees, fruits, birds and wildlife. You may even see reptiles or get to taste an exotic spice. This will be a highlight of your holiday that you will remember forever. This unique experience will provide you with a different view of Southern India and memories for you to treasure
