Ferry man to take guest s over to Philipkutty’s Farm (Behind).an upmarket Home- Stay on the Backwaters,Kumarakom, Kerala ,All goods, provisions , guests are take over this way , Philipkutty’s Farm .an upmarket Home- Stay on an island in the Backwaters,Kumarakom, Kerala Southern India And the only transport across is by this ferry ,Though accessible by road (up to the opposite bank), it is the ‘vallam’ (countryboat) that will finally take you across. The farm is located on a small farm island (approx-750 acres) in the backwaters / Vembanad Lake next to Kumarakom within the Vechoor village limits. The farm is about 50 acres (owned by the family and some relatives) and is the largest farm on the island. The island is a reclaimed property which was made in the early 1950’s by my grandfather. It was my father, the late Philipkutty, who undertook further development on the farm by bringing in a system of inter-crop farming. The island is called Puthankayal (‘Puthan’ means new) as it was the last island to have been reclaimed in the backwater region for agriculture. Staying at Philipkutty’s Farm is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the real Keralan experience in a fascinating location, with a caring family to look after you. It is a special place, as it provides something different, especially for those who prefer small and friendly places, and, could just be, the perfect hideaway for the bespoke traveller.
