5.00/5 Return to Nature's Lap
A second visit to Pappastays in the lovely backwaters village of Mannancherry. Perfectly situated very near to Alleppy, but far enough away to give a true cultural experience of village life in Kerala. Pappastays is close to Marari Beach which is beautifully unspoiled and peaceful. Lovely Keralan food is provided as well as expert day trip planning. Enjoyed outings to attend a local festival, a "chukker" - evening drive to another village, dinner and a Malayalam movie - "Mollywood" in Alleppy, ayurvedic treatments, boating on the canals and cycling with local students. A good base to explore the surrounding area, but also the perfect place for hammock swinging and relaxing. Highly recommend a stay with Sasi and Geetha - gracious and welcoming hosts.
