  Description

  We are not a hotel. We are a family living inside the forest.
  
  You will live with us like a family member, not like a worker. This is our own small family home inside the forest near Mananthavady, not a resort or business. No customers, no staff - just me and my dog.
  
  This is true cultural exchange - you give friendship, we give forest home. Safe and quiet place for travelers who love art, yoga and nature.
  
  Help: 4-5 hours, 5 days a week - art on mud walls, gardening, making yoga corner.

  House Rules: Smoking inside the rooms is prohibited, the use of intoxicants is not allowed, and loud parties are not permitted. If you choose to consume alcohol, please do so in moderation and only in outdoor areas. Please inform us if you plan to bring guests. We welcome solo female travelers; however, our top priority is the safety and mutual respect of everyone present.
