Kerala - Waynad HomeStay - Near Soojipara waterfalls


Wayanad Home-stay- Near Soojipara waterfalls

The small home-stay is located on the edge of the hill. Most of the time there is fog all around and the ground is generally wet because of the mist. When the mist clears, what you see outside is a breathtaking view of the Soojipara waterfalls in front of you , and a steep fall down the mountain!
The house itself is owned by Dr Paul who normally stays in the city and rents out the homestay to only friends and friends of friends.  A 2 minute walk from the home-stay, there is a small room + kitchen which is occupied by the caretaker. In this room+ kitchen, the caretaker makes all the delicious dishes for the guests. Other than the home-stay and this room+kitchen, there is no accommodations for 2-3 KM radius!
The home-stay itself consists of a hall in the centre, and 2 bed rooms at the opposite ends of the hall. Both the rooms have a small fireplace. There are french windows which are very nice.

The road to the home-stay from Sulthan Bathery winds through beautiful tea estates, and during rainy season the roads could be affected by landslides. Hence caution must be taken while driving through the way. We had this first hand experience since our group of friends went during monsoon season.

The best part of the experience at this home-stay are:
1] Total isolation
2] Breathtaking views of the falls and nature
3] Amazing weather and good food

Looking forward to visit the home-stay soon.
