Description
We are a popular backpacker hostel located approximately 15KM from Munnar, in the South Indian state of Kerala. Our hostel is located amidst hills, lakes and whole lot of greenery and the closest town is 2KM away. We are looking for volunteers who can help in running our property.
We opened around the last week of October '19 and have been having a dream run so far. With many bookings coming in, we are looking for volunteers who can help with the reception, guest relations, art work and gardening/landscaping work as well. In the first month of operations, we had already hosted around 600+ guests and have also had 13 volunteers join us. If you are somebody who's looking for some peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of cities, do consider joining us.
