Green Chromide Homestay is a cozy little retreat nestled on Munroe Island in the Kollam district, located in the southern part of Kerala. It is the perfect destination to unwind and enjoy a memorable vacation. Our homestay offers three distinct types of accommodations: 1.

Independent Riverfront Glamping Pod (One-Bedroom Chalet): A cozy one-bedroom pod with stunning river views. 3. Standard Budget Double Room with Riverview Terrace Balcony: Located on the first floor of the main family home, this room features a terrace balcony overlooking the river. (The family resides on the ground floor.) This particular room is listed as NON- AC, however, can be upgraded to AC on request at a small additional charge.
