We can learn from nature the patience which can bring change naturally that can last for a long time. There is no quick fix in nature.

  • Malnad homestays experience from a traveler point of view

    Malnad homestays experience from a traveler point of view

    Malnad homestays by best hosts

    Hi everyone! we are a travel group from Chennai who keep visiting destinations in India and abroad. Living in Chennai has made us crave visiting cooler destinations during summer vacations. We keep going to Ooty and Kodai for several leisure breaks. This time we chose to visit Karnataka and that too a magnificent place called Malenadu or Malnad. We came across a portal call Travel Malnad® who are the best service providers in the region.

    What do we like about these authentic local service providers? Unlike most of the companies we spoke about earlier sitting in Bangalore with little or wrong knowledge of the region, Travel Malnad® was comprehensive in its approach. The reason is very simple, all the promoters are Malenadigas with in-depth knowledge of the region.

    Why is it important to choose a local service provider? We have had a bad experience earlier with a big company. The guys sitting at a call center guided us to the wrong place to stay and with half knowledge of local rules. That made us face issues from locals who complained we had been misguided about the ‘adventure’ activity. Let me not dwell into it further and waste my words. This time we chose a local service provider and people who know what they are offering us.

    Why choose malnad homestays?

    Malenadu is popularly known as Malnad by travelers visiting Karnataka. We did a thorough search and from all angles, we found out Travel Malnad® guys are there in the service for 10 years. The list of Malnad homestays by Travel Malnad® has evolved into a comprehensive one by adding only the best ones.

    Our goal was to cover all sightseeing places in and around the Malnad region during the visit. The travel itinerary we gave to Travel Malnad® team members was reverted to more professional inputs and honest opinions. The approach of the team was very simple, they were 100% honest with us. They were not sounding ‘rooms salesmen’ at any point in time. They wanted us ‘travelers’ to have a superb holiday experience.

    We were asked to write this blog a long ago by the Travel Malnad® team but we couldn’t owe to busy work schedules. The main intent of our travel was for relaxation and escape from our office world. We chose beautiful homestays in Chikmagalur and Thirthahalli suggested and booked by the Travel Malnad team. We got a detailed road map which technically and practically worked awesome for us. The food preference we told was customized at these homestays to make us feel at home.

    Malnad tour experience

    When we left the Malnad region after a quick visit to Kodachadri we all were completely satisfied with all the services we requested by our travel company. While going back home we got yet another call from the team asking us whether all of us are safe and comfortable. We never told that we had the best experience as we wanted to write this feedback blog in detail to our awesome service provider.

    You guys deserve to grow as the next big travel tech company in South India. We wish you all great success in the coming years. All best malnad homestays must get listed on this portal so that people like us get the right information and place to stay.
