Located on a small cliff overlooking the beach, KBH is the perfect beach house for a quiet relaxing time by the sea. My wife and three children, aged 8 - 15, agree it was a great place to come home to after exploring the surrounding countryside. The staff was excellent with food that was better than most restaurants. Indeed, it is difficult to order a paratha in an Indian restaurant back in England now, as the ones at KBH are just so much better.

We stayed eight days and went out for day trips on most, exploring the tourist sites as well as off-the-beaten track. We recommend going into the hills, where we sought out two waterfalls and did some easy hiking (one all day trip which started by boat across a huge dam and then hiking through tribal lands).

We loved the small towns and the people. We enjoyed the fishermen everywhere and walked along the coastline for many miles.

We would love to return to Karikatthi as we often think about the staff there and the wonderful time we had.
