Hi, this was my first volunteering at the hostel 1957 Wayanad. My host was very chill and gave me the liberty to work according to my comfort. I had a very amazing two weeks of my life where I was living in between the nature and surrounded by beautiful view every day. There are lot many things to explore nearby the HOSTEL just walk by the evening and explore. Thanks word Packer and my host for this amazing experience, feeling blessed. I am looking forward to visit again and have the great time. I recommend you guys to must visit this place, you will love it.
