The Hidden Pearl Palakkad

Welcome to Hidden Pearl by Chakola Hospitality, where every stay is a journey into the heart of Kerala's serene countryside. Nestled in the quaint village of Pallavur, in the Palakkad district, our home is more than just a place to rest – it's a sanctuary where the Chakola family warmly welcomes you into their world. As you step into our humble abode, owned by the passionate farmer and nature enthusiast, Mr. Paul Chakola, you'll immediately feel the embrace of nature. Surrounded by lush greenery spanning over a 3-acre farm, our 5500 square feet house, built with locally sourced stones and bricks, stands as a testament to sustainable architecture. Designed and built by The Center for Vernacular Architecture, an architectural firm based in Bangalore, founded by renowned architect - Late Mr. RL Kumar, our home blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings, offering a harmonious retreat for the soul. Here, near the forest border, the enchanting melody of rare birds, including peacocks, and the occasional sight of wild rabbits within our farm, offer a glimpse of the untamed beauty of Kerala's wildlife. Immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of Pallavur, known for its traditional percussion group, the Pallavur Trio, and its mastery of rhythmic styles. Explore nearby attractions like the revered Kottamalai Ayyappan Temple and the picturesque Vamala Temple, both offering opportunities for gentle hikes amidst panoramic views. For the adventurous souls, embark on a scenic drive to Nelliyampathi, just an hour away, where cascading waterfalls and rolling hills await your exploration. Alternatively, venture towards the majestic Parambikulam Tiger Reserve, a mere two-hour drive from our doorstep. During your stay, encounter the heart and soul of Hidden Pearl: the Chakola family. Indulge in culinary delights prepared by Paul's wife, Mrs. Sally Paul, a master of the central Travancore cuisine, and also marvel at the exquisite wood artistry of Sarah, daughter of Mr. Paul Chakola. Let their warmth and expertise enrich your experience, while Sarah's kids, Elisha and Georgina, add their charm to your stay. At Hidden Pearl, every moment is a celebration of nature, culture, and heartfelt hospitality. Come, be part of our story, and create memories that will linger long after your journey ends.
