Ethnic veritable Cuisine's fit to appease the taste buds of the connoisseurs
Here you are going to savor the taste of purely ethnic Kerala cuisine, served in purely ethnic cutleries and crockery. Bowls, dishes, pots, cups and mugs made of clay, tray made of bamboo sticks, spoons made of ‘chiratta’ (coconut shell) all in bright red and brown colours are appealing to the eyes as the food is to the palate.
Pick and Choose your ingredients/Dishes- Fish, Game birds, Rabbits, Poultry and Vegetables
No fixed menu… nothing to do with northern or western recipes… here you can pick out your choice directly from nature’s menu chest!
You just name or point out from nature what you need. Be it tapioca, or banana or asparagus, you will have it on your dinner table top in ready- to- eat form. It is also an occasion for an acquaintance with the cookery excellence of native tribes.
Food is prepared using traditional appliances like ammi (crushing stone) and attukallu (grinding stone), to give food preparations a taste of its kind and prevent modernity from sneaking into the bastions of traditional kitchen. Fuel for cooking fire is obtained from a small biogas plant annexed to the hideout. Biodegradable waste such as Cow dung, leftovers of vegetables etc are put to good use for biogas production.
Campfire at night
Vagamon, located high above the sea level, has a chill in the air with accompanying fog from dusk to dawn inducing a misty night. Nothing would be more apt in such ambience than to sit by the open fire and the warmth of the bonfire keeps your body and soul warm (open fire is lit usually in cold nights). Add to this, the beat of the local 'Ramba Drums' by the local tribe folk, the music and the dance makes the evening complete.
Location
Distance - Kottayam - 64 kms, Kochi Airport - 100 kms, Thekkady - 54 kms, Peermedu - 22 kms, Vagamon - 5 kms
The heritage home is 100kms away from the nearest airport, Cochin International Airport, the commercial capital of the God's own country. It is also 64 kms from Kottayam - the nearest railway station, 34 kms from Pala, and situated at an elevation of 1100 metres above sea level is a trekker’s paradise surrounded by the greenery of tea gardens, beautiful meadows, valleys and dales.
Reaching this high range destination is a winding- uphill task. With a number of twists and turns the tarred road goes winding a number of hills until you reach a top point where the hideout is located. Even before you approach the foot of the hills to be ascended, you will have to pass along a number of paddy fields, rubber plantations and a few seemingly forest areas. Greenery every where you see, at times… This add flavour to your trip, which is going to be an unforgettable experience in your life.
Transfer will be arranged on request or as a part of package.
Temperature 5- 25 degree celsius.
