A quiet stay within the city limits. Three air-conditioned bedrooms, a private infinity pool, a green lawn, homely breakfast, and mornings that begin with birdsong. Just 2 km from Pala town.
The Quiet Side is a private home rented as a whole, set in a calm lane in Mundupalam. Close enough to town for anything you need, far enough for the noise to fade.
A private infinity pool for a morning swim or a lazy evening float, shared with no one but your group.
Three air-conditioned bedrooms with king-size beds, a spacious living area for the whole group, and an indoor play area for the children.
A warm, home-cooked breakfast every morning, on the house. Swiggy and Zomato deliver for the rest of the day.
A green lawn, a courtyard and reading room, and the sounds of birds through the day. Quiet within the city limits.
Refresh in the pool, eat a slow breakfast, and let the afternoon go by.
Some mornings, the trees and hills around the house disappear into soft white mist. Step out onto the terrace with a cup of tea, listen to the birds, and watch the valley slowly appear.

Pala sits on the banks of the Meenachil river in Kottayam district, at the edge of the hills that rise toward Vagamon and the Western Ghats. For centuries it was a riverside market town, where pepper, spices and later rubber from the surrounding hills were traded and sent downstream.
Today Pala is known as the heart of central Kerala's rubber country, and for its deep Syro-Malabar Christian heritage. Nearby Bharananganam is home to the shrine of St. Alphonsa, and every December the town lights up for the Pala Jubilee celebrations around the Kurishupally.
It is also a town of schools and colleges, churches and temples, good food and unhurried evenings. A good place, in other words, to stay on the quiet side.
