Alan as well as his married adult woman travelled amongst to Bamboo Village, spending their fourth dimension getting to know the local community, sampling the food, soaking inwards the natural beauty, as well as exploring the region's secrets. He sent us this heartwarming missive of the alphabet at the halt of their travels!
We had a wonderful vacation inwards Kerala. Thrikkaipetta was the highlight of our trip. We enjoyed the motorcoach journeying into Wayanad but the arrival at Kochupurakkal Homestay was similar arriving inwards paradise amongst butterflies on the flowers as well as birds inwards the trees. After the incessant dissonance of the route journeying the homestay's place on a placidity lane inwards front end of padi fields as well as a steep, misty, forested mountain was a consummate contrast.
Eliyamma as well as 'Baby' as well as their boy Varghese made us real welcome. Our room was comfortable as well as spotlessly clean. For 4 days nosotros enjoyed learning virtually life inwards Kerala, as well as Thrikkaipetta inwards particular, through the many discussions nosotros had amongst our hosts. To sense this was enormously enriching as well as gave us thus many insights into how the hamlet runs as well as to a greater extent than mostly into household unit of measurement life inwards Kerala. The nutrient they cooked for us was outstanding. It all tasted wonderful as well as was perfectly cooked. The meals consisted of thus many beautifully cooked Keralan dishes. Eliyamma uses many of her ain ingredients, fruits, spices as well as vegetables, grown either inwards her garden roughly the house, inwards the plot across the lane, inwards the yam field upwardly the colina or her padi some distance away. Curd came from the cows inwards the cowshed side past times side to the house. Kate spent ane level amongst Eliyamma as well as Baby inwards the kitchen writing recipes for these first-class dishes.  |

Raju who lives along the same lane was our require for 3 days of walking roughly Thrikkaipetta. He has a swell amount of detailed noesis virtually the village. We chose to pass all of our fourth dimension locally rather than go to attractions farther afield. This was because nosotros valued thus much learning inwards depth virtually Thrikkaipetta as well as because Raju is thus skillful at guiding as well as explaining. He knows many people inwards the hamlet thus nosotros regularly stopped as well as talked to other people. We loved the landscape that Thrikkaipetta is ready in. We walked along footpaths as well as lanes through tea, rubber, kokosnoot as well as areca plantations besides as forests as well as padis. We went to the GUP school, the workshops as well as store at Uravu, Shiva temple as well as climbed to the viewpoint on Manikunnumala Mountain. Kate joined inwards amongst the children singing at Anganvadi. 2013 has been such a heavy monsoon that everywhere was lush as well as verdant as well as the streams bubbling amongst water. We enjoyed experiencing the downpours as well as went everywhere amongst umbrellas. We reached Thrikkaipetta from Kochi past times develop to Nilambur as well as and thus past times motorcoach through the wood to Meppadi. After Thrikkaipetta nosotros went past times motorcoach to Thirunelli where nosotros enjoyed to a greater extent than first-class walks. We as well as thus left Wayanad past times motorcoach to Kannur which was some other real scenic journey.Thank yous for your purpose inwards enabling us to acquire thus much out of our vacation inwards Kerala.
