Thanks for including me in your list of Indian travel sites. I also visit most of the sites you mention — in my humble opinion, it’s a good list :-)

Comment on The Best Homestay in Kerala – Community Greenpalm Homes Review (Part 1) by Erin

Those are the right email addresses and my parents stayed there just a few weeks ago. Thomas can be very slow to respond to email so contacting him by phone may be the best thing to do. I’m sure you’ll love it there.

Hi Joe, no they are not very close by. Thomas’s homestay is pretty easy to get to from Cochin- a few hours by bus, train or taxi via Alleppey. The wildlife parks above would probably take the best part of the day from Cochin, although by taxi would be quicker.

I’m not sure about the visa issues as things have changed fairly recently and still seem unclear. This blog has more up to date info: http://theplanetd.com/new-india-visa-rules-our-re-entry

Comment on The Best Homestay in Kerala – Community Greenpalm Homes Review (Part 1) by Phil Lovell

After reading the reviews of the Greenpalm homestay, I decided that this is the place for the three of us in our family to stay for four or five days at the end of July this year. I’ve tried to contact and book a few times via the two email addresses listed above for Thomas’s homestay and that was over two months ago. Still would like to stay there as the homestay and the activities sound wonderful….and worthily educational for my nine year old daughter. Any advice? Are the email addresses still operational? Are they still in business? Somewhere else which is similar and not too touristy?

Are any of the locations listed above close to Thomas’s guest house? If not how difficult would it be to get there & then to either of the 2 airports for a flight to Chennai. Did you ever go out of India & back again witin a couple of weks as we want to include Sri Lanka in the middle of our trip & wonder about visa issues.

[...] Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary is the most popular destination in Kerala for wildlife viewing, but often the crowds can make it difficult to spot any animals. As part of our Quiet Alternatives series here are a few off the beaten track wildlife sanctuaries you could visit instead of Periyar. Your chances of spotting animals will be increased and you’ll have a much more interesting experience in these locations, but don’t expect the luxury accommodation or comforts that you find in Periyar.
