Our Hostel/Homestay is located in the heart of the city (Madikeri), close to many tourist attractions and also easily accessible to public transport facilities. The property has a beautiful terrace with a garden (commonplace), where one can enjoy the morning sunrise and also perfect for small group parties in the evening with a good ambience. We provide tasty, hot and fresh Homemade Breakfast which you will definitely love it ;) In addition, we have our security guard in the ground floor who's on duty 24X7, the German Shepherd dog, DANNY :). He is not friendly to strangers but he is not dangerous.
I am an Ex-Research Engineer, stayed almost 7 years in France, returned to India to start my own business in the tourism and hospitality sector, as I was always fascinated by travelling and staying at hostels and homestays, started iKyam, The Backpackers Hostel-Homestay to encourage young travellers to explore more of Coorg and also meet other fellow travellers by staying at our budget hostel-homestay. Come, Stay with us as One and feel at Home.
