Aagman

Appropriately named Aagaman, meaning ‘arrival’ in Hindi, the homestay has lived up to its name and has gained many testimonials for a pleasant experience. Built over 18000 square feet in an unusually quiet area of the otherwise busy Alappuzha, Pradeep and Jeena decided to share the tranquil environment of their home, about five years ago. Ever since, the house has had a steady stream of guests from various parts of India and the world. Jeena being an army officer, the couple has travelled to most parts of India and thus seamless communication can be established almost immediately with a variety of topics on various cultures and food. Extraordinary hosts, the couple have an extremely cheerful and inclusive demeanor.

Five, moderately decorated rooms, are well equipped with an AC and TV in each room. The staff of the house can draw up just any kind of cuisine for a quick meal. The ‘masala omelet’ can be whipped up at any time and is an absolute delight. The couple is also open to having guests bring their pets as there is enough open space in the front garden.
