Forest Homestay Maradi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re seeking a piece of paradise tucked away in the hills, The Forest Homestay Maradi is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped foot on the property, we were greeted with warm smiles and an overwhelming sense of peace. Honestly, the service here is heartwarming; the staff truly go above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable experience. The location itself is a masterpiece of nature. Lush green surrounds you everywhere you turn, with breathtaking views that make for the perfect backdrop. Whether it was morning or evening, the Idargana kallu sunset point walk became one of our favorite rituals—nothing beats the explosion of colors as the sun dips below the horizon. As avid trekkers, we were thrilled with the trekking facilities available - Benne Kallu. The guided treks led us through different terrains where we were fortunate enough to spot mesmerizing wildlife, including the stunning Malabar grey hornbill and the dramatic Malabar pied hornbill. The sights were beyond words! We also participated in the coffee plantation tour that was splendidly explained by our passionate guide. Learning about the arabica and robusta processes while taking in the fragrant, earthy aromas was a treat I won't forget. Plus, we happened upon fresh peppercorn and cardamom plants—it was like getting a front-row seat to nature’s spice rack! Food was another delightful aspect; I can’t recommend the local cuisine menu enough - Malnad Cuisine. Every bite felt like an embrace of culinary tradition. It was delightful to see the local flavors vibrantly showcased in each dish. For those looking for some fun and leisure, the resort offers a ton of activities! We enjoyed tossing a badminton birdie around and found ourselves laughing while playing cricket in the open fields. The gun shooting activity added an adventurous twist to our stay. At night, gathering around the fireplace while sharing stories under the starlit sky was just magical. Additionally, the resort's knack for ensuring heck of a lot of wildlife excitement led us to catch glimpses of the charming Malabar squirrel and vibrant peacocks! This place is truly a nature lover's delight. In short, if you're searching for a tranquil escape ***** with a rich flora and fauna experience, plus an introduction to local delicacies, look no further than The Forest Homestay - Maradi. We left rejuvenated and with heartfelt memories thanks to this beautiful piece of heaven. You’ll definitely be hearing from us again!
