Welcome

A home in the valley, not a hotel

Vayal Nad Stay is a small family home with just a handful of rooms, each opening to a balcony over the trees. Meals are cooked in the family kitchen — simple, seasonal Kerala food. It's the kind of place where the day is shaped by the light and the rain, not a schedule.

Your hosts live on the property and are happy to help you plan drives, treks and early-morning wildlife safaris, or to leave you completely alone with a book on the veranda.

Why guests come back

Slow days, close to everything

Real forest, real quiet

Balconies over the canopy, a stream at the edge of the land, and nights dark enough to see stars.

Well placed for day trips

Edakkal Caves, Chembra Peak, Soochipara Falls and Banasura Dam are all within an easy drive.

Home-cooked Kerala meals

Garden vegetables, fresh appams and fish curry at the family table — included with your room.

For women travellers

Ladies-only stays, on request

Travelling solo, with friends, or as a family of women? Book a ladies-only stay and we'll keep the homestay exclusively for women guests during your dates — a calm, safe, private home in the hills.
