Traveller Meets Farmer

Munnar and Idukki, through the lives of the people who grow its soul.

Stay with a real farming family.
Wake up to the rhythms of village life.
Work in spice gardens, vegetable fields, or cattle farms.
Eat what the land gives — cooked by the hands that nurture it.
By evening, share stories, laughter, and life itself.

Not Just a Visit. A Shared Life.

Beyond the tourist trails of Munnar and deep into the hills of Idukki lies a slower, more meaningful way to travel. This is for those who want to connect — not just pass through.

What Is “Traveller Meets Farmer”?

It’s not a resort experience. It’s not curated for tourists.
It’s an honest invitation into a farmer’s life — whether in the tea-scented hills of Munnar or the lush farming valleys of Idukki.
You’ll be hosted by a local family.
You’ll join their day — from planting cardamom to feeding goats or cooking in a wood-fired kitchen.
Some days are quiet. Some days are full. Every moment is real.

What You Can Expect:

Stay in a farmer’s home or nearby heritage guest house
Take part in real farm work: spice farming, vegetable cultivation, or dairy work
Learn about traditional farming, seasonal rhythms, and food systems
Enjoy meals made with fresh, local ingredients — straight from their land
Walk through farms, forests, and fields with your host
Experience both Munnar and lesser-known villages across Idukki district

Where This Happens:

Munnar – Tea gardens, spice farms, homestays with breathtaking views
Marayoor, Kanthalloor, Vattavada – Vegetable and fruit farming experiences
Rajakad, Rajakumary, Thopramkudy, Kattappana – Pepper, cardamom, and mixed farming life
Smaller Idukki hamlets – Pure, untouched villages where time moves slowly

We match you with the right host based on the kind of experience you’re looking for.

If you’re seeking luxury and packed itineraries, maybe not.
