Nice budget home stay near Kattappana (Idukki). Owner Mr. Philip, an ex-teacher will make sure you are at home. He accompanied us to the trek up the hill behind the home stay to the picturesque scenery of Idukki reservoir (see the photo). They served yummy homely Kerala food. Recommended as a base during your Idukki visit to see nearest attractions like Idukki arch dam, cheruthoni dam, hills view park, anchuruli tunnel, Calvary mount, etc. Tip: one of the rooms do not have attached bathroom, but a common bath. Facilities are basic, but nice, clean, cosy and cheap.
