Pooja Kiran

A riverside homestay in a 140 years old traditional house was an experience that I will probably never forget. Cool and sweeping views of the Alleppey town, the small rivulets, the boat rides, exciting games and the rejuvenating Ayurvedic massages have all my heart. I totally recommend thrillophilia for a memorable vacay in Kerala.

The mansion is more than 70 years old and is a part of the sanctuary since the time it was known as 'Baker's Estate’.

As you visit the reserve, you will find a circuit of paths that will take you along the entire sanctuary. There is about 2 km of road that will help you witness every neck of the woods in the sanctuary. You can also go to the interpretation center in the sanctuary built by the government, should you like to know about the birds that visit during the migratory season.The sanctuary is positioned on the beautiful banks of Kavanar River. After you are done exploring, you can take a boat ride in the Kavanar River or Vembanad Lake just to spectate the charm of the place.Not only the place is at par with heaven for bird aficionados, but it is also a delight for the people who’d love to spend some time in tranquility away from their homes and the ever-bustling cities.
