Ente veedu Home stay

“Athithi Devo Bhava” is a saying in Sanskrit the ancient Indian language, which means “guests are equivalent to gods.” The hostess Mrs. Seetha Rajagopal has really imbibed this saying and have opened her house to travelers from far and wide, extending them a hearty and warm welcome. “Ente veedu” the Malayalam for “my house” is situated in an exotic locale in Wayanad one of the hill stations in Kerala. World renowned for its coffee and tea plantations and spices, Wayanad has become one of the favourite hubs for tourists.
Surrounded by coffee and pepper plantations and paddy fields, “Ente Veedu” really transcends you to an ethereal world. An ecstatic and holistic experience from the rush and shrieks of routine. Located in a 80 year old estate, “my own home” Ente Veedu combines the legacy of Wayanad farming culture. It was Mrs. Seetha’s dream to be in the mainstay of tourism and related activities. Well supported by her husband Mr. Raju, her dream was realized in the year 2005, when they set up “Ente Veedu” for tourists who are really interested in exploring nature. Ente Veedu gives you a first hand experience of Malabar cuisine and hospitality.
The fresh water lake nested above wooded hills, is the only one of its kind in Kerala. It is one of Wayanad's top visitor draws.
At 2100 metres, the spectacular Chembra Peak located towards the southern part of Wayanad is the tallest summit in the region. Climbing this peak is a challenging endeavour and would take a full day
The fresh water lake nested above wooded hills, is the only one of its kind in Kerala. It is one of Wayanad's top visitor draws.
A beautiful waterfall about 30 mtrs in height. Relatively smaller than Sentinel Rock Falls, and rather less frequented Kanthanpara and its surroundings offer a very pleasant site.
An interesting 2 km jungle trek off the main Ooty Road, Meenmutty is the largest and most spectacular waterfall in Wayanad. A unique feature is that water drops about 300 metres over three stages.
The Kuruva Island with 950 acres of evergreen forest lies on one of the tributaries of the River Kabini. This calm and peaceful island is home to a variety of birds, butterflies and orchids.
One of the earliest to strike the banner of revolt against the British overlordship in this part of India, Pazhassi Raja took refuge in the Wayanad hills, and resorted to classic techniques of guerrilla warfare against the superior British forces. He was downed in a ferocious encounter that took place at Mavilanthode in 1805. Pazhassi's tomb marks the point where he was cremeated.
Located close to Ambalavayal town, Phantom Rock, named so because of its skull head shape, is locally called Cheengery Mala. The immediate surroundings offer excellent photo opportunities.
Situated along the northern ridge of Wayanad (bordering Coorg district of Karnataka) Tholpetty is much similar to Muthanga in terms of flora and fauna. The best season to visit is November and May.
Spread over a vast area, Muthanga is part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Region. It's a rain forest reserve connected to two-major sanctuaries-Bandipur National Park in Karnataka and Mudhumalai Sanctuary in Tamilnadu.
This temple is one of the most important amongst a series of ruins spread across the state of Kerala that testify a period of strong Jain presence in this region. Believed to have built in the 13th century, it served as a Hindu shrine and eventually as an ammunition store for Tipu Sultan's marching armies.
Thirunelli Temple (also Tirunelli) known as southern Kashi is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu. According to tradition, Lord Brahma was travelling the earth upon Hamsa the swan when he became attracted by the beauty of the area now known as Brahmagiri Hill. Descending in that spot, Brahma noticed an idol set in an Amla tree (gooseberry tree). Brahma recognized the idol as Lord Vishnu and the place as Vishnuloka. With the help of the Devas, Brahma installed the idol and called it Sahyamalak Kshetra
Papanasini means "washes away all sins". According to tradition, Vishnu granted the power of the Papanasini river to wash away all sins as a boon to Lord Brahma, after Lord Brahma installed an idol of Vishnu at Thirunelli Temple. The Papanasini became the purificatory Ganges of the Keralites. The final rites to ancestors, held on the Pindappara rock, became famous as equivalent to Gaya Sreaddham. The story about this rock is fascinating; a demon Paashanabhedi, cursed by Vishnu, repented and asked for deliverance from that curse and He converted him into this rock.
Etchings found on the walls of these caves have drawn the serious attention of archeologists and historians worldwide. It is assumed that the Edakkal had been inhabited at various stages in history. A telescope installed by the DTPC that offers a panoramic view of the surrounding country is another attraction

Currently one of our holiday homes is available in South India, while the other in East Malaysia is still under construction.
In South India, the holiday home is situated in Trivandrum (also known as Thiruvananthapuram) capital of Kerala state. It is located at Kochu Ulloor, in a peaceful area overlooking a large temple pond and the ancient temple itself.
Trivandrum city is as diverse as it can get: among its friendly people, modern buildings co-exist with ancient ones; narrow streets open into wide, open spaces and “Autos” (small 3-wheeler taxis) dart in and out between cars and buses. The traffic on the road is generally self-regulating with spontaneous rules that befit the situation. To take you away from the perpetual rush hour, the city hosts a myriad of spiritual and ayuverdic centres to rejuvenate your body and soul.
Kerala is green. Lots of coconut trees mingle with other vegetation to adorn the land and host blue skies. This “God’s Own Country” gives you the much needed break to pamper yourself.
The East Malaysian holiday home, under construction, is situated in a hill resort called Borneo Heights, an hour of picturesque drive from Kuching, capital of Sarawak. This jungle state boasts of some very modern cities that are as clean as they are green
Legend has it that an Adivasi youth named Karinthandan was instrumental in guiding the British Engineer through the difficult mountain terrain into Wayanad. Eager to take credit for the discovery, the engineer conveniently killed his guide, whose soul, according to the legend, constantly haunted subsequent travellers. It is believed that a priest chained the troublesome spirit onto this tree and hence the name the Chain Tree.
