Description
In Tamil, "Illam" means home, and that's exactly the vibe we’re going for here in the hills of Kodaikanal. We’re a cozy homestay built around slow living, good conversations, and just soaking in nature. We're ready to grow. Our current project is expanding our little homestay into a nature-friendly campsite that can comfortably host up to 30 people at a time. It’s a big step for us, and we’re looking for some hands-on help from folks who share our vision and want to build something special. We are planning to connect with travellers who can also contribute their skills to make our project better.
