Breakfast

And there’s food, lots of good food! The farm where we stayed is a true-blue village home, but has just the right set of amenities for a pleasant stay. The homeowner and his family members know how to treat their guests well – not just offering great Kerala food, but lots of handy tips and one-of-a-kind experiences. Not to be missed by experienced or non-experienced travellers alike.
