Akkarakalam Memoirs
An ancient two-storied house constructed with wood and bricks and is still maintained in memory of the golden era of this Ancient Syrian Christian family. It is now proudly presented to the world as an icon of age-old tradition and trust.
A 150 year old exotic farmhouse located in Alappuzha Backwaters. Akkarakkalm Memoirs is a sprawling 10 acre land with natural flora and fauna, beautifully converted into a heritage homestay for the nature lover as well as for the common globe-trotter. Here you can experience the backwater life at close quarters and inhale the natural scent of pristine countryside.
Everything about Akkarakkalam Memoirs has the fragrance of old times. Even the porcelain flick switch will take you back to a period long lost. However, as part of keeping pace with the modern times and in view of maintaining a high quality, a dash of modern facilities has been adopted here and there, especially in toilets and open baths. Apart from that, what you experience will be exclusive ancient eminence and grandeur. The red oxide floor, wooden furniture, wooden walls etc have the feel and touch of everything reminiscent of old homes. Arecanut, coconut, cinnamon, old spice, different varieties of mango, guava and several other tropical trees lend the land a fresh and green look. A walk through the property will be refreshing and rejuvenating.
Located on the banks of the tributary of Pampa River,it is accessible by water and is only 5 minutes. Visit churches and temples if you so desire and you can take a tour of the countryside on a bicycle and feast on the immaculate beauty of the place. Go fishing and enjoy yourself. Catch them with rods or cast the net and catch them or take aim and pierce a fish with spike. Or if you prefer night fishing, simply go about it and rejoice. Or get into a canoe and row over to the middle of the canal with your fishing line and try your luck.
