Lifestyle and Community Traditions
Kodagu’s community and family system remain strongly traditional. The Kodava clan system is a unique feature of the region, and The River Homestay offers guests a chance to interact with local families and understand their lifestyle. Kodava marriage rituals are a beautiful reflection of the region’s customs, with ceremonies that involve traditional music, dance, and feasting.
The local farming traditions are also important to the Kodava way of life, with many families growing coffee, rice, and spices. The River Homestay itself is located within a coffee estate, providing you with the opportunity to learn about coffee cultivation and experience the life of a traditional Coorgi farmer.
