If you are not an average traveller who wants to just tick destinations off your bucket list but want to experience a place, its people, their culture and their day-to-day life, then homestay is a great option.

A genuine local experience, access to local insights, insider’s tips, personalized service and a chance to experience the legendary Indian hospitality where guests are considered as Gods (Atithi Devo Bhava) are a few reasons to choose a homestay over a hotel. For solo female travellers a homestay is a great option from a safety and security point of view.

Alencherry plantation homestay is an authentic homestay. Authentic because it is the actual home of Antony Alencherry and his wife Lizzy, where they have been livingfor the past fifty years, since the late 1960s.  Unlike many other homestays where the hosts do not stay in the premises or detached accommodation facilities are rented out as homestays, Alencherry plantation homestay offers 5 en-suite bedrooms that are part of the main house where the hosts also live.
