Philipkutty's Farm
A family farm on an island in Lake Vembanad, with seven cottages along the water.
Three generations of one family farm this reclaimed island in Vembanad. The cottages sit in a row at the water's edge, so the boats pass right by the veranda.
Meals are eaten with the family, not in a restaurant, and the cooking is a large part of why guests return. It is a good place to see how Kuttanad lives and works.
