Gramam Homestay

Near Fort Kochi

Two rooms with a family, ten kilometres from Fort Kochi.

The place

The smallest thing on this list. A family house among the palms with a restored coir-processing bungalow beside it, ten kilometres out of Fort Kochi and entirely inside village life. Home cooking, taken in the dining room while the family eat separately — which is the Kerala homestay convention, and worth knowing before you arrive rather than after.

What is there

  • Traditional Keralan breakfast included
  • Cooking classes with the family
  • Bicycles, and a village to ride round
  • Birdwatching and fishing
  • Ayurvedic treatments arranged
  • Close enough to go into Kochi for the evening

Getting there

Ten kilometres from Fort Kochi; under an hour from the airport.
