The Manjappally Plantation Bungalow

The Manjappally Plantation Bungalow is a 125 year old heritage building nestled among the rolling plantations of Kanjirapally, Kottayam. It takes only three hour trip from Cochin, and is a perfect stop over on the Periyar-Cochin or Kumarakom-Periyar journeys. The bungalow has been awarded the Grihasthali Award by the Tourism Department of Kerala. The bungalow was constructed during the British rule. If you wish to bask in the togetherness and stately charm of plantation life, stay over. Plantation Bungalow has the facility to accommodate up to 16 pax, in four different bungalows, all within a radius of 4 kms. Four different families will in fact play hosts. While you will be treated like royalty, you will also enjoy the delightful informality and intimacy of being part of a family. The facilities in the bungalow are on par with the best in the world







There’s just so much to do on a visit to one of the plantations of Manjapally Plantation Bungalow. As you set out on a gentle trek through the estate, you will feel as though your favorite poem just came to life in the tree-clad hill sides, sun-dappled clearings, babbling brooks and the fine mist that shrouds each morning. Trek through acres of rubber, coffee, pineapple and spices. Watch rubber being tapped, coffee beans being picked – in fact, a plantation at work. Learn from the experts at work the various stages of processing sap into commercial grade rubber, brewing a romatic coffee from coffee beans and cultivating spices and tropical fruits. Walk deep into the plantation, and you’ll chance upon a tree-house. It will give you a bird’s eye view of the surrounding areas!

At Manjapally Bungalow, you can sample the best of authentic Kerala cooking, as made in traditional Syrian Christian homes. Lunch will be served on the large front lawn. Savor the flavours of estate life clustered around tables in little groups of 4 or 5, under a large mango tree, surrounded by birdsong, gentle breeze and friendly conversation. For those of you interested in expanding your culinary skills, we can have arranged for you, a special cooking demonstration by our family members.
