STAY AT
1, Hill House, Peermade
By Kuntil Baruwa, Explorer, Destination Knowledge Centre
1, Hill House, Peermade is laidback with a capital L. This 2-room property is quietly tucked away in an area which belongs to the scions of a prominent planter family of Peermade; a hill station and gateway to the high ranges and spice plantations of Thekaddy. It's not far away from the main highway. But once inside you escape into another world which is totally relaxed. 1, Hill House is perfect for clients who want to unwind whilst enjoying a slice of the local planter's life and maybe a drink at the Mundakayam Club which is not too far away. Ideal for 2 or 3 nights. Keeping 1, Hill House low profile has allowed Rani and John – both retired - to host every guest till now, though they don't stay at the property. They stay at Alleppey and travel to Peermade, every time there are guests.
STORIES FROM THE ROAD
Good Morning Backwaters
By Kuntil Baruwa, Explorer, Destination Knowledge Centre
A leisurely morning stroll to catch the sunrise and to enjoy everything unfolding with it, to see the backwaters of Kerala waking up is one of many perks of staying in a Homestay after the Day Cruise on the Houseboat. That the backwaters is teeming with so much exuberance is something one would have had a glimpse of during the day cruise. Experiencing that liveliness and friendliness in an intimate manner - up close and personal - is possible only during a stay in a Backwater Homestay. Minimum 2 nights. This is what I would recommend for your clients - on the day they de-board from the Houseboat after their Day Cruise, let them arrive, settle down, have a drink, get to know their hosts over dinner and have a good night sleep. On Day 2 – let them start early and go on morning walk with their host to catch the sunrise and everything with it. I did exactly that with my host who is Professor of Pharmaceutical Science in a local college. Did you know Kerala is the most literate state of India?
