Kallancherry
is located in the din of all this natural bounty. A local estate
converted in to a home stay, it is designed to offer the guests
great insights in to the life and culture of the people of Kumbalangi.
Kallanchery is a perfect out of the map setting. Her courtyard welcomes
the monsoons and bids farewell to every setting sun. The fisherman's
canoe breaks the sparkling water as he rows past with is fresh catch
- his song merged with the millions of bird's chirps from the mangrove
forest.
All this while the people in her estates are still working - on
the ruts that spin the golden palm fibers in to strong coir,
on the crab farms catching fresh crabs and lobsters, on the
countless Chinese fishing nets favoritely called 'cheena vala',
upon the coconut trees where the tappers toil to collect natural
fermented liquor called toddy, upon the green fields where
the men and women sing and reap their fortunes;

Kallanchery
is not a resort. She is a part of Kumbalangi where you can stay
and become a part of the landscape. Kallanchery's private estates
will give you access to all these and more. She was never planned
to be a resort; neither is she one. She is simply the residence
of a local farmer...a place that is fascinating enough to offer
you all the luxuries that the kings and queens would dream of when
the crown and all worldly leisure has been with them for years.
A good resort is a place you can stay, let your soul transpire through
your gleaming eyes and tour the country and bring the wealth of
tranquility in to your mind....by the time you leave, you know that
nature cares for you.
