About Us

Thushaaram is a homestay style holiday home located in Kuttikkanam in Idukki district of Kerala, India. It is a family owned vacation cottage, built in the middle of a plantation property spread across about 1 acre of land.  It is located about 3 kilometres from Kuttikkanam. The only attraction when the family purchased the land was the nice landscape of the property with a small river in the boundary and the cool and calm climate of western Ghats .

Almost twenty years back a small rock home was constructed with two bed rooms , living area , a small kitchen and a small dining . The home served as a summer getaway for the family members .

The land and the cottage remained unoccupied for most part of the season and when someone reaches there to spend the vacation , the property will be filled with  forest and the preparation of the home itself will take the whole vacation .

So the suggested plan  was to do a  full revamp of the property and keep the place engaged with visitors so that the place will be live and active throughout the year .

You may be aware that  maintaining a summer home for an occasional  family get-together or a casual visit of one or two days per year will be a costly affair for most of us .

Thushaaram in Malayalam language means Dew Drops.

The idea of the Thushaaram , which was the name of the house itself  is that you can treat it as your home itself . It is NOT  a serviced villa with all those artificial hospitality persons around you to pamper you .  It can be just treated as your summer home away from your home . The only difference is that you are not going to pay for an year long maintenance .
