GETTING NOSTALGIC IN NILAMBUR A stay in Teak Town homestay takes one back to one’s childhood days, writes Divya Nambiar

Getting Nostalgic In Nilambur

It was like walking back in time, walking into Teak Town in Nilambur. And to make it complete, I took a train from Bangalore to Calicut, and by road thereafter. The ancestral home is set in a sprawling 6-acre estate of coconut palms and fruit orchards. Sticking true to its roots, plenty of wood is used in the interiors as well as furnishings. With beautifully done up rooms that remind one of home and hosts who treat the guests just as one of their family, Teak Town homestay took me 15 years back in time to some of the happiest memories of my life. Right from the sloping tiled roof to the thick wooden pillars, every effort has been taken to keep the traditional essence of the property intact, whilst ensuring that modern comforts are not compromised on. The home is filled with tiny little nooks where I just curled up with a book and took naps.

I spent many blissful hours walking around in the estate dotted with tall coconut and fruit trees. By virtue of being in one of the most virgin regions of Kerala, as yet untarnished by the ravages of modernisation, the property is an oasis of natural beauty. Nilambur in Malappuram district is known as the Land of Teak Plantations’. The place is blessed with natural bounty, rich with forests and wildlife. The dense cover of teak forests makes it one of the largest producers of teak in the country.
