Our Signatures
Offbeat Kerala, done properly. These are the experiences our travellers remember long after the tan fades — crafted by locals who actually live these hills and waters.
Climb rugged 4x4 trails to Urumbikkara's hidden waterfalls and an old estate factory — our own jeeps, our own routes. A raw, crowd-free day deep in the Western Ghats.
A full-day guided climb to Muthukoramala, one of Kottayam's highest peaks — misty ridgelines, grassland summits and valley views few travellers ever reach.
Ride out as a group on off-road bike trails through rubber plantations, forest tracks and riverside paths — led start to finish by riders who know every bend.

Travellers' Tales
Real, unedited reviews from guests of The Riverside Bliss Stays in Yendayar — our riverside homestay — on Google and Tripadvisor. The river outside the door, the home-cooked food and the family welcome they remember.
“Beautiful location, tasty homely food and extremely hospitable hosts. The jeep safari they arrange to the Urumbikkara hills is an unforgettable experience — a home away from home.”
“A scenic spot right beside the river, with a very kind and helpful host — it felt like staying in a friend’s house. Safe river dips, nearby waterfalls and an off-road jeep trip to Vagamon, all arranged for us.”
“They took really good care of us, just like family. We checked in around midnight, but they stayed awake and even served us dinner. It felt very safe for us girls.”
“An amazing, serene river flows right in front of the property — perfect to dip and float in, and bathing in the nearby waterfalls is wonderful. The owner is lovely. A must visit!”
“Great hospitality and tasty food you can never get in restaurants. A home away from home — they also arrange a wonderful jeep ride to the Urumbikkara hills.”
“Amazing place to stay alongside the river, with the tastiest homely food. Hospitality was fantastic — go just to taste their chicken biriyani. The name ‘homestay’ truly fits.”
“A very kind and welcoming couple run the property, right next to a rivulet with perfectly clear water shimmering in the sunlight and a gentle white-noise hum all day long.”
“Excellent trip — and the stay is awesome. We didn’t expect to do it all on our low budget. The jeep ride to Vagamon was beyond our expectations. Thank you, Fazil!”
“A home away from home. Well maintained, with home-style food — and the scenic beauty of the Western Ghats, along with the song of the river flowing nearby.”
“A very pleasant stay, and we loved the jeep ride they organised. The home-cooked food is awesome — authentic Kerala style, especially the chicken biriyani.”
“I’ve been on many trips, but never had a host take such care of us. Everything was looked after, and the clean, hygienic home food is amazing. You feel like you’re in heaven by the riverside.”
“Such a lovely place to stay, and the hosts are extremely helpful. The food is prepared in-house and is super tasty. The trek up the hills is an adventure in itself.”
“Stayed here on my Kerala off-road bike trip — a super-cool stay with the best pocket-friendly packages. The host even helped me find the beautiful nearby waterfalls. I’ll definitely be back.”
“An excellent budget homestay away from all the rush and city life. The food was hygienic and amazingly good — real Kerala taste from a real home kitchen. Special thanks to Fazil and his family.”
“Pocket-friendly and spotless accommodation. The food was awesome, and the trekking and jeep drive were wonderful — Fazil planned the entire trip from pickup to drop.”
“A very nice and pleasant stay with excellent hospitality and great food. The river bathing made our day, and the sightseeing in Vagamon was so beautiful.”
