Know your Host
You will be hosted by warm and extremely welcoming Vinoop who stays here with his parents and brother. He got introduced to the concept of tourism during his studies. That is when he realized that his 100 years old heritage home would be an ideal place for travelers visiting Wayanad. To make it suitable for guests he made some modifications in the home without causing any harm to the old heritage. He has been running this Homestay since 2009.
The family is absolutely lovely and caring and will treat you like a family guest. They will take tare of every small need of yours. So there is nothing but relaxation and enjoyment that you will experience during the entire stay. No wonder if the love, care and the ambiance makes you feel nostalgic like staying at your grandparents home for summer vacation. The hosts are knowledgeable local people and can guide you well on exploring Wayanad.
