Itching to get away with the little ones? Longing for outdoors activities which the kids can  immerse themselves in and run wild and be in touch with nature?

Here is a list of amazing home stays from across South India you can check out:

1. Little Flower Farms, Vagamon, Kerala

Travelling must not come at the cost of our environment. Little Flower Farms, nestled in the forests of Vagamon, puts this into practise. The couple who founded the farm converted a barren land to a biodiverse land, thus restoring the ecological balance to the area for a long time. Give your children the opportunity to experience bamboo groves , pine groves, and even wild orchids, and catch sight of local wildlife like barking deer and wild boar apart from the varied species of birds. Enjoy a dip in either their natural pool which fills up during the monsoon, or in the stream nearby!

2. Kerehaklu, Chikmanglur, Karnataka 

For the ultimate deep-dive into the biodiversity of the Western Ghats, get the kids to Kerehalklu. Pranoy Thippiah has opened his family home to visitors, offering up four cozy log cabins made from fallen trees in their sprawling estate for stay. Listen to the various wonderful sounds of nature on a morning hike, learn about the different stages of coffee growing, and enjoy an open-top jeep drive in this lovely homestay. The kids are going to have some serious outdoor fun in this property that is spread over 270 acres. Coexisting with the natural ecosystem, Kerehaklu also gives kids the opportunity to engage in some fun, first-hand learning about diverse  flora and fauna.

3. Red Earth, Kabini, Karnataka 

Check out Red Earth in Kabini for a getaway from city life! Located at the edge of the Nagarhole forest, this will offer your kids the opportunity to observe the wonderful flaura, fauna, and culture of the region. Pack in some fun learning for the kids on this trip as they experience wildlife, birds, and learn about the traditional and sustainable practises of the folks over at Red Earth. There are countless species of birds and insects, apart from wild elephants, gaur, and if you’re lucky you may get to sight rare predators like tigers and leopards!

4. Cloudwalks Homestay, Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu

If you’re aching for a breath of fresh mountain air, then head over to Cloudwalks. This homestay has beautiful and bright rooms which offer breathtaking views. You can stay in bed and enjoy the spectacular views, or head out and explore the beautiful landscapes of Kodaikanal and Vattakanal, go boating in the lake, check out the Guna Cave, among many other outdoor activities that the kids are sure to treasure! 

5. The Other Side, Coorg, Karnataka 

Located in Karada, Coorg, a visit to The Other Side will rejuvenate and relax you. Whether the kids are lazing around in a hammock or walking through the plantations, or visiting one of several waterfalls around the area, they will be sure to cherish this nature break.
