It had been a while since I last spent time in a coffee estate. And so when I heard of this homestay in a coffee plantation in Banakal village in the Western ghats of Karnataka, I knew I had to visit. Run by a third generation planter’s family, Chittakki Homestay epitomizes what a home stay experience should be all about. Gracious sincere hospitality in an environment that offers a refreshing break and opportunity to soak in the plantation vibe, and delicious, traditional home cooked fare that made each meal a highlight.
If you’re looking for a coffee estate homestay experience, look no further. Hope you enjoy this watch. Stay tuned for more in this series. And subscribe to our second channel / kripalamannavlogs for more from our food, travel and life adventures.

Thank you for giving note on protecting our nature ⛰️🍃
Such humble and yet so classy hosts who know their heritage and is able to present it so well. That's what makes Malenadu of Karnataka such a rich experience.
Yes ur rightly said people don’t have the civil sense and not the sense of patriotism. I have seen how people in other countries keep the country clean

Super! Do watch the video and let me know what you thought of it.
Lovely 🥰, small correction- it’s Mudigere Taluk in Chikmagalur District 😊
Waow ❤❤. Thanks for the another place, added to the list.
Enjoy!
@@KripalAmannaVlogs yes sir. Thanks to you , we get to know about such a beautiful places. Also thank you for mentioning and emphasizing on keeping our nature clean and not to throw garbage. People must understand this now.high time.
travel with sense.. keep clean our malnad. pls.
Thank you, Kripal. You are so very correct. Each and every citizen of reasoning age is directly responsible for cleaning up after themselves. Let us carry an empty shopping bag with us and use it for all our garbage as we travel. Then we can dispose of the bag into the appropriate bin when we come across one OR into our own bin at home.
Absolutely! It is all in our hands.
Picturesque scenery. Yes, the cleanliness of public spaces is up to the residents and visitors. I was amazed to read that in Japan, people always carry a waste bag so that they can put used food and drink waste in it and dispose of it when they get home or when they find a waste bin.
As for highway speeds, 65mph to 75 mph is more typical in the USA, with some desolate stretches permitting 80mph. Therefore, 120kmph is reasonable.
If your wife had accompanied you, we may have got a chance to see what vegetarian items are on offer at this homestay.😊
Hi Veena, you will see some more vegetarian dishes in subsequent vlogs in this series.
A saying on that ' Extended dustbin' really touched me, whether it's rural or urban area. I thought that it would be clean, but it's not, so sad. Those are spoiling nature. There's no other land that God provided us but where we live. I think and feel that awareness must be given on cleanliness there. No one is going to clean our land but we.
These days, the streams nearby Aizawl are also cleaned and rubbish are picked up by youth adventure clubs from high schools and colleges, even the locals too the Young Mizo Association (Y.M.A).
The ecosystems and environment of rivers would be more secure from dirt in future.
Just added my thoughts.
That homestay is really like home, When the owner spoke about Coorg pork, I was delighted ... Here we eat smoked pork, fried pork, fresh pork etc...And almost every family eats pork on Sunday morning meals... In Mizoram our diet is Meal in the morning Tea in the afternoon and evening and dinner ... its our tradition. But, I'm accustomed to any diet style ...Breakfast , Lunch and dinner also...
Thank You,
Sir Kripal.
Hi Lalthazuala, thoughtful initiative by the Y.M.A. to help clean the environment. The homestay was indeed like a home, enjoyed my stay there, as you will see in the other vlogs that will follow in this series. Hope you are doing well.
@@KripalAmannaVlogs Yea, I'm fine by the Grace of God. Thank You.
On Sundays, your vlog are always ready for me after Church Service.
Thank You so much...
The lack of regular rain in the Malnad region too is quite concerning. The future seems ominous if we continue to experience poor rainfall this year as well.
Yes, it certainly is cause for concern.
next time when im here Kripal. I will tell Sharath, im your dearest friend and follower :)
Hi... Kripal sir after very long time watching your travel vlog nearly 6 month
Welcome back!
@@KripalAmannaVlogs thank you sir
24:56 What a moment
Kripal looking forward to the details planning to spend couple of days with Family will call and check as I have special need son and a pet who accompanies us for stays. Thank you - as it is nearby and 4 hours drive. Please do update on the weather also thank you very much 🙂
Hi Sunny, please do speak to the hosts, am sure they will ensure you and your family are comfortable. As for the weather when we visited early April, it was a bit warm during the day, but very pleasant and cool, even nippy in the mornings and evenings.
0:49 ...Mudigere is a Taluk not district...😊
The only drawback of the jiminy seems to be its small boot space for offroading trips
Thotapuri, Mutton Fry, Coriander Leaves yella "Ginimoothi, Huridamamsa, sambar soppu "- Kannadambe nudi mutthugalu kelidashtu sogasu!
Good suggestion sir Jai hind clean india
👍
Please show more of coffee estates, peppers, other spices.
The next vlog has an interesting coffee estate tour.
Gentleman hosting the Homestay has an uncanny resemblance to Superstar Rajnikanth. 😮
Should i take that as a compliment😀
@@sharathbanakal2231 absolutely- and I loved how passionate you are. How seriously you take your responsibilities of a planter. Such a gentleman! 🫡
Jimny looks so classy, also do you have any plans of modifications?
Not really, Pradeep, have done over 2500km thus far, haven't seen any need to yet. But let's see.
I am new to Bangalore- Kripal I have learnt more Kannada thanks to you than any other means. Went to Rameswaram and told him "Tuppe Ille" and enjoyed a ghee-free Pongal :)
Loved it! You have to improve your kannada pronunciation. Chitaaki sounded like a Japanese name😊. It's simple Chitta akki a tiny bird. All the best!
Howdu! You are correct. 🙏
Sir pls come to pune
Nakki yenaar!
Sir, Nice vlog. How much time it takes to reach home stay from bengaluru.
I would say drive time of around 5 to 6 hours or thereabouts. It's about 275 kilometres from Bengaluru.
Either people should be responsible which is not in our case, plastic related products should be banned completely! My home town is near to Agumbe and tired of seeing littering..
Suzuki should give another jimny free for your contribution towards jimny sales 😅
Haha! I hope they are listening to you, Mithun.
@@KripalAmannaVlogsAnd if you get that giveaway to us😂
Fabulous Location and homestay. Is it pet friendly ?
It certainly is. They have pets too, should be I’m guessing. The best way would be to call and enquire. Their contact details are in the video description.
@KripalAmannaVlogs , thanks KA, we love your vlogs.
🙏
Can we start at 28
Good afternoon dear Kripal - Last couple of days I am down with a severe stomach bug . So taking it easy . Wow your intro itself made me happy . The road is beautiful and good that you are going for a brief staycation at Chitaki Homestay in a Coffee ☕️ estate . Need to check on the Gourmet Biker - Harley estate . Good way to test the Jimny 👍 Quick pitstop for a plate or Idli with chutney and a glass of coffee ☕️. This kind of diet that my Doc has advised me to have for the next few days - light meals like Idli , Upma , Khichadi , Dal rice , curd etc . Being a foodie it’s gonna be tough . Actually this weekend I had plans to take my friends to Lonavala for my Birthday celebration unfortunately due my health condition we have postponed it . Why does it Chime at speeds over 80 KMPH. The road looks good and the suspension also seems to be good 👍 Beautiful route 👌 I was wondering why you suddenly stopped. Great idea to soak in the Coffee county . It’s so unfortunate that even educated people strew such non-biodegradable stuff . It comes with self discipline. My wife is so strict on this aspect that she would immediately go to folks who litter , spit etc and ensure that they don’t litter or spit tobacco . In fact there should be Dust bins along the way for people who want to throw the used PET bottles or other things. Oh wow the property is good and we now know that Chitaki is a small bird . Lovely room with a great view 👌 Thats their main idea that every room has a good view and you soak into the Coffee estate 👌👌 Loved the way Mr Sharath explained the process of Pepper making . Time for a late lunch and it’s indeed a feast ; Chilli Chicken , Mutton fry , Mutton Biryani , Brinjal Palya and Rasam . Super hospitable hosts 👌 So happy that you are relishing all the dishes while discussing about the delicious food and the core ingredients 💯💯💯 Well said Kripal the Homestay becomes more comfortable when the owners are passionately involved. Looks like the Mutton fry has hit the Spot 😋😋 Time for dessert ; Sabakki Payasa . Yes I knew that the Mutton fry was your favourite 👌👌 You could have got Boss to this place . She would have enjoyed it 👍 Looking forward to the next part of this Homestay series . I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog . Though the dishes made me salivate , I need to exercise a strict diet control . You take care , stay healthy . Happy Sunday and Loads of love and respect 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️
Hi Rajesh, sorry to learn you were down with a stomach bug on your birthday. Can I share something with you - I too had a similar issue for my big day! 😀 Moving on to Chittakki, this certainly was a wonderful coffee estate getaway in every aspect, as you will also see in the next couple of vlogs. Wrt your query on the chime in the car, it’s standard now in all new cars, at 80, 100kmph and continued chiming at 120kmph. Take care, hope you feel better soon.
@@KripalAmannaVlogs Thanks for your wishes dear Kripal . I am feeling a tad better now after a couple of rounds of medication. Just to ensure that I adhere to to the strict diet regime as advised by my Doc . Anyways Chitaki is a fabulous place and would like to take my family there for sure . Sharath and Sowmya are extremely hospitable hosts 👌👌 Looking forward to next vlog on the Chitaki Homestay series . Thanks for answering my query on why the Jimny was chiming. Have wonderful Sunday evening and god bless 😇
Hi Kripal, re litter, I live in the outskirts of Toronto in a town called Ajax and after Covid, we’re seeing the same litter- styrofoam, coffee cups, plastic cups etc. Most of this is unfortunately from recent immigrants. I’ve witnessed 2 guys in a truck in a plaza with a garbage can not more than 10 meters away but they threw their coffee cup right in front of us as we were walking our dogs down the sidewalk. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the pristine coffee estate in India or a conservation area in Canada, people are bringing their old habits to the west. Sorry to say. I do my bit and pick up the litter as well as some of our neighbours-
Hi Shawn, that's sad. I always wonder why, It doesn't take much effort to keep things clean.
Chittakki means small bird.
Chitta ki means may be Chitta’s!😂
In coorg if you are caught littering by any of the green watchers and localities they will drag you back and make them clean the place themselves and many people who have experienced it have regretted it so litterbugs better be aware when in Coorg 😂😂😂
I can understand the frustration of responsible local citizens.
As you got down you said whatever I felt
Most litter is not recyclable
I say
uper Beauty
Neeche dirty
Our people are the biggest litterbugs
It truly is sad to see tourists destroy a place by littering.
Mudigere is Taluk not a District sir
Noted.
So many comments about this vlog being a promotion and no local food on offer,etc.etc.
I say otherwise,for the following - the humble hosts main business is from the massive coffee estate and not from four spare rooms which serve as an extension of their culture and hospitality in addition to a bit of picket money,by their own admission.Most hosts do not necessarily cook for you or even serve you personally as they have caretakers for that.The gracious hosts showcased their own food and proudly highlighted a locally outsourced popular biryani which speaks high of being vocal for local.
The warmth of this kind of homestay experience versus the cold,clinical over sanitised offerings of so called Boutique hotels amidst tea gardens and coffee plantations scattered across the country more so costing more than an arm and a leg,is a point to note.
As a successful and fair influencer/vlogger,feel free to promote whomever you feel has earned it.Kripal,you have come a long way and have certainly earned that right and privelage to do so.
Happy travels.
You've said it well, Anil. Thank you. The hosts here are humble and gracious, personally ensuring that their guests have a great experience.
As for the cynics, they will find holes to pick even there is none. I do my best to let it not faze me. 🙃
Thanks again.
@@KripalAmannaVlogs waiting for the rest of the story Kripal, especially your first foray into the world of off roading with the Jimny.
can you plese share contact details of Chitki home stay- BTW thanks for speaking about littering
Please check video description, all details mentioned.
Seriously, where did you get this information???
What information?
@@KripalAmannaVlogs Chittakki Homestay, anybody suggested this place?? How did you get to know of this homestay??
Viscosity 😅😅
Promotional video. Mention it.
Not a commercial video. Nothing to mention.
It pains me so much to see plastics strewn all over the place. When will we all have civic sense .
Tariff
Is the food here halal ?
Please connect with them on the numbers mentioned in the video description.
Please send the number of that place again sir , Thanks in advance, from a Neurologist ❤
It's too hot here in Kerala
Can I have ur number, I have been following u
U come to kerala, Thrissur, I will be ur host
You will always find the relevant details in the description of all our videos, Dr., in this case too. For your ready reference here, the numbers are: +91 96110 73436/ 96632 42161 (whatsapp only)
Blame the Jimmy for this vlog😂
Haha! Driving the Jimny was an incentive for sure.
The last 10 Min is only about slaughtered animals and birds. Sad but bitter truth.😂
Impossible in bharat. Cleanliness. Ignore
Help me
Looks like a promotional video as there is no mention of anything that's not upto the mark.. especially the food when they are clearly calling out the biryani(which is outsourced) and chili chicken are the only things given for a normal booking. It would be very disappointing to go to mudigere and the homestay not serve any local food.
A disclaimer that its a sponsored video will help the viewers
Not a commercial or promotional video. What’s the issue if the hosts want to give visitors a taste of a delicious, local biryani tradition, everything else is home cooked. Pardon the brusqueness in the reply but the only thing disappointing here is your cynical comment. And btw, it’s not Coorg, but Banakal, Mudigere.
@KripalAmannaVlogs If you read my comment I have not said the video is disappointing.. i have told it would be disappointing to go to such a beautiful place and not get served traditional food and also i havent commented saying not to serve biryani but even for normal paying customers they should serve some traditional Malnad food and not just Taj style biryani with andra style chilli chicken (which is what the host told is served).
My bad on the location updated it now
You should perhaps watch the video once again if you missed the local dishes served. And also other vlogs in the series. And no disclaimer required for reasons mentioned earlier. Cheers!
Too much non-veg , it puts me off.
