On The Banks Of The Vembanad Lake
Mylanthra Riverside Homestay stands close to the backwaters of the famed Vembanad Lake. This 75-year-old heritage bungalow, owned by Basil and Annie, is a one-of-a-kind holiday you can wish for. Life here goes at a comfortably slow pace, much like what tourists would prefer. You can go boating in the backwaters or in the nearby mangrove forests. Those who would like to go for a swim, too, have that option.
Riverside Homestay offers the unique facility of “catching your dinner”. In simple terms: the hosts have a Chinese Fishing Net, which you can operate. Use it to catch fish, and Annie will cook delicious dishes with them for you. You can also visit paddy fields here that double up as shrimp farms. The two are alternatively farmed in the same field.
Sit by the backwaters and watch the beautiful sunset and interact with local fishermen returning after a tiring day. Make sure you walk or cycle in the countryside; you will learn a lot about village life. If you are interested to visit and attend local festivals and functions, the hosts will arrange them for you. Visit nearby locales of Fort Cochin, Kumbalanghi and Mattancherry.
Riverside homestay is only 12km from the nearest railway station, and it is well-connected by buses and taxis to places of interest in the district. Be assured of a calm and memorable holiday at the homestay.
