If you’ve been craving a peaceful mountain escape with authentic charm, you’ll love this private homestay in Poombarai for rent, where comfort meets countryside serenity.
Why Choose Poombarai?
Poombarai is a postcard come to life — traditional tiled-roof houses scattered over hill slopes, ancient temples whispering stories of the past, and every sunset painting the valley in gold. The village is famous for its scenic beauty and agricultural charm, especially the colorful carrot and garlic fields that cascade down the hills.
Poombarai is quiet and peaceful, giving you a real taste of village life and a chance to enjoy nature all around you.
