We had been to Coorg to celebrate my parents' wedding anniversary and my father's birthday on 10th May. My wife had booked 2 rooms at Gowri Niwas for 3 nights.

Warm colors accentuate the space created by pitched roofs and hand made tiles on the floor. As an architect I was... More

It was a 4D/3N stay that we planned in Coorg. Two families (4 adults, 4 children) went together for this trip and I was a little sceptical about homestays but decided to try this out in any case.
