PHILOSOPHY: Wear out than rust out!

Live and let live, take each day as it comes, plan a little ahead, take time off and wander. Explore the best of God's world, see the exciting things, learn from what wild/tame, sane/ insane, credible / incredible things people do. Life's worth lots of laughs.

ABOUT OUR HOUSE:
We live in a big house and have lots of friends who stay with us on and off. When me and my wife are free, we love to be with friends, people and guests. We run a home stay, 2 rooms and a cottage, more for the joy and excitement of meeting different people from all over and exchange ideas!
You would have a private room, attached bathroom, running cold / hot water 24 yours, TV and all the privacy you want. We usually have breakfast with our guests and work out other details on the fly!
There are lots of exciting things to explore in Palakkad , you can check out:
