From the Kumaon Himalayas to a pristine beach of Kerala, and a plantation home in the forests of Coorg.  We have been fortunate to acquire, over the years, holiday homes in three very diverse territories which showcase the natural beauty of India.Our Coorg home was inherited along with a 60-acre coffee and pepper plantation, and a 2-bedroom guest house.  Located very close to the Nagarhole Wildlife Sanctuary and other local attractions, we visit ‘VANSUKH’ regularly for the upkeep of the plantation.With a deep connection to the Himalayas, primarily due to a passionate mountaineer in our family, it was only a matter of time before we cemented our relationship with the mountains by constructing ‘HIMSUKH’ –  just beyond Ranikhet in the Kumaon region.  The 3-bedroom wood and stone cottage boasts of a fabulous view of Nanda Devi and Trishul in the Kumaon Himalayas and makes for a rejuvenating break just about any time of the year.But where does one relax with a sense of complete abandon?  The beach! After considering many options we were fortunate to find a long, uncluttered beach in Marari, just south of Kochi in Kerala.  Our 3-bedroom home with a traditional façade, ‘SAMUDRASUKH’ couldn’t be closer to the Arabian Sea.  The local cuisine, empty beach, spectacular sunsets, and the backwater cruises only a short drive away, are a divine relaxation mix.
