Kerala has some of the pristine hill stations in India , with the entire Western Ghats dotted with evergreens, rolling grasslands, sholas and stretches of rejuvenating fragrance of tea and coffee plantations. The wilder side of Kerala has in store some of the best wildlife sanctuaries and national parks in the country with a variety of plant and animal life unique to Kerala.Glistening brooks and cascades that interstice the hills finally roll down to the coastal plains of Kerala where they laze through verdant stretches of paddy fields, coconut trees and feeds some of the splendorous expanse of backwaters and lakes.

THARAKANS HOMESTAY
This tharavad was built 400yrs ago by Tachil Mathew Tharakan who was the Forest Minister to Maharaja Marthada Varma of Travancore. The house originally built at Allepey was later dismantled and a part of it has been reconstructed here. The tharavads of Kerala are no ordinary wooden mansions, besides the architectural aspect, they have deep social significance- they are a symbol of a man’s status and are a stronghold against the world. The tharavad gives the ‘House Name’ to a family and P.A Hormis Tharakan of Tharakans Homestay is as proud of the tharavad as he is of his illustrious past. Determined to see Tharakans Homestay standing tall in the next millennium, we at Tharakans invite you to enjoy a passionate holiday at our home.
