Company information

Hello and welcome to Zyamadhari 🌿 We’re Dr. Bijoy and Binoy , two brothers with a deep love for nature, farming, and the peaceful life that Wayanad offers. I, Binoy, am an engineer by profession with a strong connection to the earth — I find joy in working with soil, planting trees, and watching things grow. My brother, Dr. Bijoy, is a dedicated medical practitioner with over 20 years of experience running his private clinic in Kannur. Despite our different professions, we both share a deep-rooted passion for nature and simple living. This love for the land was planted in us by our late father, Gangadharan, an engineer who always found peace in farming. It was he who introduced us to the rhythms of rural life and the satisfaction of growing your own food. Along with the support of our beloved Ananthan uncle and our local mentor Subairka, we slowly shaped this beautiful place into what it is today — a soulful escape called Zyamadhari. For us, hosting is not just about giving people a place to stay — it’s about sharing the magic of this land. We love connecting with our guests, exchanging stories, and helping them experience the joy of waking up to birdsong, walking barefoot on the earth, and eating food straight from the farm. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, we look forward to welcoming you with open arms and warm hearts. With love, Dr. Bijoy & Binoy
