Just a short drive from Poothali, through quiet village roads and fields of swaying paddy, lies the serene Nithyanandashram in Kanhangad—a place that holds a gentle, enduring presence in the lives of many locals.

The connection isn’t loud or ceremonial. It’s simply part of the region’s natural rhythm. A place worth visiting—not just for what it is, but for what it quietly means to those who’ve grown up in its shadow.

International Yoga Day by the Sea
Where the breath meets the tide.

This morning, before the world stirred, the sea was already awake—breathing in, breathing out. Just like us.

On this International Yoga Day, we return to something simple, something ancient: the rhythm of breath, the stillness within, the vastness beyond. And there is no better place to feel it all than by the shore.

Yoga by the sea is not about perfect poses. It’s about softening. About listening. To the waves. To the wind. To the gentle pull of your own heart.

Today is not a performance—it’s a remembering. Of how the body can be still, yet strong. How the mind can be quiet, yet aware. How the ocean, like yoga, teaches us to rise and fall and begin again.

Wherever you are—on a sunlit beach, in a quiet room, or in a moment of pause between tasks—may you carry this feeling with you.

A breath that grounds you. A tide that moves through you. A life lived with presence.

Happy International Yoga Day from the edge of the sea.

Soft as morning mist and light as a whisper — Neer Dosa is how Tulunadu greets the day.

Fresh off the pan, these delicate, lace-like dosas carry the quiet comfort of home kitchens — where rice is soaked, ground, and poured thin without a trace of fermentation. Have it with coconut chutney or sweet jaggery-coconut for breakfast, or pair it with a mild chicken curry or spicy fish curry for lunch or dinner — and you’ll understand why this isn’t just food, it’s a feeling.

Slow, simple, and soulful. Just how every meal should begin.

Poothali is more than a stay—it’s a quiet return to North Kerala’s heritage. This lovingly restored home carries the warmth of old wood, the charm of handcrafted details, and the stories of generations past. For those who find beauty in age and stillness, every corner here invites you to slow down and feel at home.

An evening at Poothali isn’t just dinner—it’s a pause in time.
You and your partner, side by side on the old stone sit-out, where the walls still remember stories once whispered in the dark. Antique lanterns flicker gently. The paddy fields, quiet and dusky, stretch out before you like a breath held in stillness.

The meal arrives slowly, warm and lovingly made—served on banana leaves, with Kerala delicacies that taste like memory, and rice that carries the scent of woodsmoke. You eat with your hands, laugh softly, and speak less—because somehow, silence says more here.

This isn’t a candlelit dinner. It’s better. It’s real. It’s Poothali.

You won't find Kasaragod in glossy travel brochures. It's not on the usual tourist circuit of Kerala. Culturally rich, blessed by nature, and still refreshingly underexplored, Kasaragod holds its stories close-until you're ready to listen.
This carousel post is a quiet invitation. A glimpse into a region where life hasn't rushed to catch up.
Swipe right to walk with us through this overlooked corner of Kerala.
Kasaragod is also where Polika began-and why it will always feel personal to us.
And this is just the start. We'll be sharing more such lesser-known places across South India.
Follow Polika to see what most people miss.

When the first monsoon rain falls on the red earth, everything softens—the air, the soil, even time itself. This is when the temple trail around Poothali Homestay feels most alive. Not in grand processions or fanfare, but in quiet footsteps, soaked stone pathways, and the smell of wet sandalwood from an early morning pooja.

You begin just after tea, perhaps with an umbrella in one hand and fresh jasmine tucked behind your ear. The nearby Thaliyil Temple, modest and powerful, holds stories whispered by grandmothers and carried by wind. Further on, tucked between banyan trees and village paths, the Sree Madiyan Kulom Temple waits. Its wooden carvings drip with rain, and its inner sanctum flickers with oil lamps, untouched by the world outside.

The trail is not about distance, but rhythm. You stop often—to greet a priest, to watch a coconut fall, to listen to silence. The rain falls, sometimes gently, sometimes in sheets, washing the old granite steps clean for your feet.

Each shrine along the way is a marker—not just of faith, but of memory. This is a monsoon not to escape, but to enter. Slowly. Barefoot, if you like. Letting the gods speak in drizzles, drums, and the rustle of banana leaves.

Mornings around Poothali begin with soft calls and fluttering wings. Follow the quiet trail past fields and canals, where the world stirs gently and the air feels alive. It’s more than birdwatching—it’s a moment to pause, listen, and feel part of the morning.

Family time feels different here. At Poothali, every corner whispers stories of the olden days—the worn stone steps, the breeze rustling through paddy fields, the distant call of a temple song. It’s a place where grandparents, parents, and children can slow down together… sharing meals, laughter, and quiet walks along the paddy fields. Come home to the charm of living simply, as it once was.

At our home, even the smallest comforts are woven with intention.

The cotton bath towels offered to guests aren’t mass-produced—they’re handwoven by local weavers whose looms still echo the rhythm of tradition. By choosing to source from these artisans, we’re not just offering you a soft, breathable towel—we’re helping create steady work, preserve a fading craft, and keep a quiet economy alive in our village.

Each towel is a small opportunity—wrapped in warmth, woven in dignity. When you dry off, you’re part of something deeper. Something local, and lasting.

Agri Farm Trails at Poothali – A Day of Slow Wandering

At Poothali, we believe the most beautiful journeys are the ones that don’t rush. Our Agri Farm Trails invite you to spend a day moving at the pace of the land, meandering through the quiet rhythms of village life — where the earth is not just soil, but story.

Walk the worn footpaths across our paddy fields, feel the clayey soil under your feet, and listen to the soft chatter of farmers tending to coconut palms and jackfruit trees.

Along the way, you’ll meet the people who live this life every day — not as a performance, but as a memory carried forward. There are no guidebooks here, only real conversations, shared laughter, and the simple joy of sitting under a mango tree with a cup of black tea brewed over a wood fire.

Midway through, we gather at a shared table — a simple meal prepared in the traditional kitchen, rich with the flavors of what you’ve just walked past. It’s not just farm-to-table; it’s farm-to-heart.

Our Agri Farm Trails are not tours; they are gentle invitations — to touch, taste, and belong, even if only for a day.

Around Poothali, the rhythm of life is still set by the sun, the soil, and the seasons. In the early mornings, you’ll see farmers—barefoot or in old sandals—walking the narrow mud paths that crisscross the paddy fields. Some carry sickles, others just stories from the night before. There’s a quiet dignity in the way they work—with hands that know every grain of this land, and hearts that trust the rains.

Guests at Poothali don’t just watch this life from a distance—they’re gently welcomed into it. You can walk alongside a farmer during the planting season, your feet sinking softly into the wet earth. Or help harvest tender banana shoots and wild greens for lunch, learning their names in Malayalam as you go. Sometimes, a neighbour might invite you to try your hand at threshing paddy or plucking mangoes from a slanting tree behind their courtyard.

It’s not a staged experience. It’s just how life moves here—slow, generous, and grounded in the land. And for a few quiet hours, it can be yours too.
