This is a holiday like no other where you can immerse yourself in a culture, while staying at ancestral homes of the people of Kerala. The three religions that exist in Kerala (Hinduism, Christianity and Islam) dictate the subtle differences in the population.

Living with them in their homes is a great way to experience and understand these cultural nuances. In their homes you will interact with your hosts and adopt their lifestyle for a while. You can learn more about the cuisine and even how to prepare meals with them. And for the complete experience, take a bath in the traditional bathing tank in the compound!

Village life has a charm of its own and the countryside calls to the explorer. The old homes themselves have some distinctive features and materials, and to enhance your experience, stay in one that is in a typical farm with crops of paddy, areca nut and coconut all around.

• Stay in the ancestral homes of three prominent communities of Kerala.
• Opportunity to interact with hosts, and understand their lifestyle.
• Learn about the cuisine of these communities and partake in cooking and enjoy your meals with them.
• Explore the countryside and village life.
• See the architectural splendors of old construction mainly using rosewood, teak wood and Jack fruit tree wood.
• Stay in homes situated on a typical Kerala farm with major crops of coconut, paddy, areca nut, plantains and other yields like Mango, Jack fruit, Papaya and various herbs and spices.
• Bath in the traditional bathing tank in the compound.
