Located at the edge of the Napoklu village in Coorg, Naladi Homestays is built on 15 acres of coffee plantations, at the Kerala- Coorg border. Mr. Suman and his wife Reshma built the home in 1995 with the ancestral home still untouched in the foreground. With the Famous Thadiyandamol peak in the backdrop, the house is situated conveniently at the foothills and serves best as a base camp for trekkers.
Privacy for guests stays intact as the entire first floor is set up for guests, and has a separate entrance. An option for a suite can also accommodate a large family with a living area and a separate bathroom for themselves. Moderately set up, all four rooms have a fantastic view of the lush green vicinity either overlooking the plantations or the smaller Nilgiris ranges. The furniture in the room is built from the estate wood in rich dark browns or taken from the ancestral home. If one is lucky, a Malabar squirrel or a barking deer can be spotted from the balcony. A large sit out with a cane swing is perfect to kick the shoes and relax. Reshma insists on a typical Coorg breakfast for guests and is eager to share some delightful recipes. The milk is fresh from the cow-shed of the house. Though the hosts are not keen on guests bringing their pets along, small dogs can be brought after discussion. Well suited for both an action packed holiday and a contrasting peaceful one, the house is elusive and central to many activities at the same time.
