Set on a small island in the Keralan backwaters, Philipkutty’s Farm is a wonderful homestay experience.
Built in the 1950s, the farm spreads over 35 acres, growing coconuts, nutmeg, bananas and cocoa. There are also a few cows, hens, ducks and geese. The family are happy to conduct guided tours of the farm and explain how the crops are grown using organic and sustainable methods. There's plenty to do here. Explore the paddy fields by bike or take a walk into the nearby village to see its market and temples. Take a guided bird watching tour before taking a boat ride on the lake to watch the sunset.

-
