Hibernest Chembra

Northern Kerala


Chembra Peak looms high above this peacefully positioned, red-brick, colonial-era bungalow turned boutiqueish hostel, set in leafy gardens 6km south of Kalpetta. Four-person en suite dorms (mixed or women-only) are equipped with personal lockers, plugs, lights and curtained bunks, while facilities include a communal kitchen. There's another branch just west of Kalpetta.
