In a sleepy town called Nileshwar in Kasargod district of Kerala, Altaf Chapri set out to build an oasis of tranquillity and greenery that is today a world renowned boutique destination in itself.
Around 20 kms from Kasargod in Kerala and a two-hour drive from Mangalore airport (incidentally a table top airport), lies a town the cultural capital of North Malabar Nileshwar or Nileshwaram. The town's claim to fame being that Kerala's first chief minister E.M.S. Namboodiripad was elected from here. The town’s other famous attraction is Neeleshwar Hermitage, a boutique beach retreat that is frequented by many international tourists. Though the resort is very popular with international guests, recently it has seen much interest from the domestic market as well.
According to Jayan K V, general manager, Neeleshwar Hermitage, “Earlier only about five per cent of our guests were domestic visitors. This has now increased to 30 per cent. May to September which is the offseason internationally is becoming popular with the domestic market. This year we have seen an increase in room nights even in the off season. Our main source markets in India are Bengaluru, Mangalore, Mumbai, Indore and Delhi.”
