As described by several others the place is unreal ,raw,natural and piece of heaven. If you really want to restore faith in goodness and want to know how the axis... read more of world is in balance then do experience this surreal place.

  My wife and I had four wonderful days staying at the Green Gardens farm.
Lajiu kept following up with us till we reached the farm on the day of... read more arrival. He was also available on (Hidden by Airbnb) or a quick call if we need any information.

Care takers Sushma and Hari are just wonderful.

Sushma is an amazing cook. We loved the food served throughout our stay. Jackfruit seeds curry was my favorite. Sushma packed a few Jackfruit chips as well for our return journey.

Hari is an all rounder. He has amazing knowledge of the plants and trees in the farm.

The farm fruits are just delicious. We had avocados, Passion fruit, jackfruit, Pineapple, Guava, Carrots and the humble Banana.

The best part of the stay is the plant donation activity. We thoroughly enjoyed planting a Jamba plant.

The farm itself is a bio-diversity hotspot. I saw many new bird (close to 20) and plant species. Only regret I have is that I could not capture the birds. (Carry a good SLR camera if you love capturing birds and insects.) They are just vibrant. Whole day I was just listening to the sounds of these little birds.

There are very big nurseries close to the stay. If you enjoy visiting one, give it a try.

First day we found it a little difficult to adjust to the noise of Crickets. Got used to it from the second day.

It was a great decision to stay in the Green Gardens farm. Live close to the nature, soak in the sun, enjoy and relax your body and mind.

Looking forward to my next trip to the Green Gardens.

  My girlfriend and I stayed at Laiju’s place for our trip in wayanad and it was one of our best experiences together. The place is far from the busy streets... read more and is instead located in nature. This allows a lot of opportunity to disconnect and live much more simply. The hosts were super caring and helpful always responding to any questions or concerns that we had. The nature surrounding the airbnb is very lush providing many things to do and see. The airbnb also provided a food option of three meals a day and each of them were extremely fresh and delicious. I highly recommend Laiju’s place to someone looking for a raw and beautiful experience in some of the best nature India has to offer.

  Very good peaceful place. Vegetarian food three times given for rhm members. Location is good and is close to Edekkal caves. Host is friendly. Workers Sushma and Hari... read more are good. Room is big and bathroom is big. only vegetarian food was served plus eggs and omlette. nice place. you will be given non veg food if you ask. but vegetarian is good for health. Good tea was provided without milk but I didn't ask milk based chai. this is not a big deal for me. overall it was a nice experience. yoga class was offered.

  I would rate this more than 5-stars if I could. It’s a big shame what is happening to our environment at the moment, and by staying in a place like... read more this, you are contributing to a better world. Laiju and sushma will take great care of you, and you will leave feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and hopeful about the future of our world. This place is one of a kind. Switch off and get in touch!

  So, this is a place where you can actually connect to nature, meditate and rejuvenate. The location of the farm is awesome, the stay is inside a 5 acre tea... read more and coffee plantation, that too raw means unlike resorts it’s not crafted by humans. Even outside the farm at less than 100 meters, there’s a tea plantation, coffee plantation, very beautiful roads to take a walk around. We stayed there for 4N/5D and it was a complete bliss.
I will list down what we really liked about our stay
1. The host Mr. Laiju is a very informative and helpful person, it makes the stay very smooth and likeable. He is one go-to person for everything you need in executing your trip like info related to places to visit, nearby eateries etc. Also, we were humbled when he hosted us to his place for lunch and prepared North Indian cuisine the way we like
2. The staffs inside the farm are very polite and sweet, though I could barely understand their language still, we communicated haha!
3. Waking up in the morning with birds chirping, fresh wind blowing and a hearty south Indian breakfast is something I am going to miss dearly.
4. Farm has fresh coconut water, fresh milk from the dairy inside the farm
Now, few things I would like to mention for guests who might not like it
1. This is a very normal homestay kinda thing so don’t expect much, like it has got bare minimum amenities inside the room. There will be one room and a bathroom for the guests
2. Food menu would be simple Kerala style cuisine
3. Sometimes, inside the room internet might not work but generally in the farm it works properly
So, basically this is a place for people who simply want to relax, eat simple desi food, connect with nature, admire cows, birds, trees, every creation of god and enjoy walking around lush greenery. Also, regarding sightseeing in Wayanad, we didn’t have any problem. Every place is accessible even if you don’t have your own vehicle, autos are there till Sulthan bathery (nearest market) and from there public transport/private cab options would be available.

  The place is excellent to stay away from city hustles. Very calm and serene to be.

  Entry to the place is a bit difficult without assistance. Once reached you are in a world of your own.
