We had a wonderful vacation inwards Kerala. Thrikkaipetta was the highlight of our trip. We enjoyed the omnibus journeying into Wayanad but the arrival at Kochupurakkal Homestay was similar arriving inwards paradise amongst butterflies on the flowers together with birds inwards the trees. After the incessant dissonance of the route journeying the homestay's place on a placidity lane inwards forepart of padi fields together with a steep, misty, forested mountain was a consummate contrast.
Eliyamma together with 'Baby' together with their boy Varghese made us really welcome. Our room was comfortable together with spotlessly clean. For iv days nosotros enjoyed learning nearly life inwards Kerala, together with Thrikkaipetta inwards particular, through the many discussions nosotros had amongst our hosts. To sense this was enormously enriching together with gave us thence many insights into how the hamlet runs together with to a greater extent than to a greater extent oft than non into identify unit of measurement life inwards Kerala. The nutrient they cooked for us was outstanding. It all tasted wonderful together with was perfectly cooked. The meals consisted of thence many beautifully cooked Keralan dishes. Eliyamma uses many of her ain ingredients, fruits, spices together with vegetables, grown either inwards her garden some the house, inwards the plot across the lane, inwards the yam field upwards the colina or her padi some distance away.

This was because nosotros valued thence much learning inwards depth nearly Thrikkaipetta together with because Raju is thence skillful at guiding together with explaining. He knows many people inwards the hamlet thence nosotros regularly stopped together with talked to other people. We loved the landscape that Thrikkaipetta is gear upwards in.

After Thrikkaipetta nosotros went yesteryear omnibus to Thirunelli where nosotros enjoyed to a greater extent than first-class walks.
