Kerala homestay accommodation in India
How this holiday makes a difference
Environment
We create lots of employment opportunities for the locals as cook, waiters, helpers, cleaners, dhoby, boat man and guides etc. We also give lots of business to the local fishermen, shop keepers, taxi and auto rikshaw people, private and government buses and boats etc.
We educate the local community on how to deal with the tourists in a friendly manner, how to help them, how to keep the surroundings neat and clean etc. As the part of our charity work we work with the other institutions to give good accommodation, food and education and medical care to the poor. We have built a bridge and two roads as infrastructure to access our homestay, but as they are for public use, it is equally beneficial for the villagers too.
We are in a 100% pollution free zone. As there is not much transportation and no industries, we are safe from all type of pollution. We cultivate all the vegetables, fruit, coconuts, rice etc. on our land organically. In front of the accommodation there are 100 acres of paddy fields surrounded with coconut trees. We harvest rain water for drinking, and instead of plastic we use paper bags to carry.
We cultivate lots of natural herbs and medicines for ayurvedic treatments and make our own shampoo from the plant "Hibiscus". Instead of artificial materials, we have made our accommodation with natural products which are locally available such as coconut stems, coir, bamboo ply etc. As we have mosquito free rooms we don’t use any chemical mosquito repellent at home.
