About Us

Gramam Homestay, the welcoming home of Jos and Lyma, is tucked away on the serene banks of the backwaters in Kumbalangi, a picturesque village just 10 km from the heritage towns of Fort Kochi and Mattanchery. Surrounded by lush greenery and far removed from the bustle of the city, it is the perfect retreat for those seeking peace, nature, and a taste of authentic Kerala village life.

Built in the traditional Kerala style with sloping tiled roofs, the house opens into a spacious garden that blends seamlessly with the tranquil backwaters. The property is alive with biodiversityโ€”coconut palms, areca nut trees, mango trees including a magnificent 200-year-old giant lovingly called Chandarakaran, medicinal plants,mangroves, and a vibrant array of birdlife. Guests are treated to home-cooked Keralan meals, prepared with warmth and care by Lyma offering the authentic flavors of the region.

Whether you wish to simply relax by the water, explore the charms of Kochi, or discover the rhythms of village life, Gramam Homestay offers a truly  authentic experience!
