Our Story

Perched gently on the slopes of Kalloor in Wayanad, Malhar Homestay – Your Home Beneath the Clouds is a sanctuary where architecture meets emotion, and every corner is designed to embrace the eyes of a wandering guest.

The home itself is a conversation between the old and the new. Its contemporary structure, crowned with layers of light-filled roofing, captures the changing moods of the sky while keeping the interiors cool and serene. The windows, reborn from pieces of an old ancestral house, open wide like frames of a living canvas—offering uninterrupted views of gardens, trees, and drifting clouds.

Stepping inside feels almost like discovering a hidden passage. The entryway begins at the hillside, carrying the charm of an underground retreat. Yet, within moments, it unfolds into a welcoming living space that flows seamlessly into a garden that feels like a world of its own.

Here, life slows down beneath the shade of ancient mango trees. A simple swing sways from one of its branches, carrying stories of childhood joy and quiet evening musings. Around it, pepper vines climb gracefully, and a carpet of lush green grass invites guests to walk barefoot, gather for a meal, or share music under the open skies.

Malhar is not just a homestay—it is a feeling. Every detail is thoughtfully maintained by the host with the warmth of someone opening their own home, ensuring that guests not only stay, but truly belong. It is a place where clouds descend close enough to touch, where laughter finds echoes in the garden, and where every sunset feels like a memory being painted across the horizon.

 

At Malhar, you are not just a visitor—you are family, embraced by the hills, the home, and the hearts that care for it.
