Kottukapally Nazarani Tarawad

Kottukapally Nazrani Taravadu is situated in the heart of Pala (Palai) Town in Kottayam District, yet away from the bustle of the Town, amidst serene sprawling lawns, gardens, greenery and chirping of innumerable species of migratory birds
Kottukapally Nazarani Tharawad,  has been built, expanded and restored, in the Kerala, Dutch and Spanish Architectural Styles, by successive generations of the Kottukapally Family over a period of Three Hundred Years.  This sprawling mansion has two well appointed. bath attached suites decked up with period and antique furniture. Some of the other facilities on offer include Internet and laundry services, doctor on call and  an extensive library with many ancient books and palm leaf documents. What we like the most in this homestead is the tranquil Mogul Courtyard where you can enjoy bird watching.

A variegated menu comprising of the traditional Christian lunch is served on banana leaf with many vegetarian and spicy non vegetarian dishes and a  7 course sit down dinner reminiscent of colonial era. Blending the old world charm with the contemporary convenience, this farm stay is a great bet to take  a peek at the culture and lifestyle of Kerala of the yore.

There are many interesting activities on offer. Enjoy  a relaxing Ayurvedic Massage done in consultation with the expert,  pick up a recipe or two at the Kerala cookery demonstration or enjoy fishing at the  pond behind the house using the traditional fishing rod. The English speaking guide would help you to interact with the simple and fun loving villagers and to know about their life styles better. A barbecue at night with the family members is a great way to sign off your day at this quaint homestead, where you can retrace the steps of the traditional Kerala life style.
