Ulluvagilu: Accommodation and Activities

A business group event raises different coordination questions than a planned activity. Anwaya HomeStay and Vastare Homestay and Resort have different areas of focus.

Anwaya HomeStay: Conference Facilities and Restaurant

Anwaya HomeStay in Ulluvagilu has conference facilities for business events or groups. If you are considering this facility for your trip, confirm at the time of booking whether it is available for your dates. The property also has an on-site restaurant serving local and various international dishes. Ask the accommodation directly for the restaurant’s current service details. If both a group event and the restaurant are important to you, be sure to discuss both when booking.

Planning Activities at Vastare

Vastare Homestay and Resort in Ulluvagilu arranges sightseeing tours, jeep rides, waterfall visits, trekking and mountain visits on request and for an additional fee. The activities listed should be booked two days in advance. If you have a particular activity in mind, allow for this lead time and ask the operator about current availability at the same time.

For narrowing down your options, the difference is practical: at Anwaya, the conference facility and restaurant may be decisive for your plans; at Vastare, the focus is on a requested activity, along with its additional fee and lead time. If your trip includes a business meeting or group event, first confirm the conference facility with Anwaya. If one of the activities listed is important to you, ask Vastare about arranging it and its availability.
