Property information

Ganesh House was founded in 2005 by my father, the late Mr. Madhusoodanan, a retired official of the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC). Along with my mother, Sri Prabha Kumari, he created a retreat that emphasized warmth, respect, and a deep connection with our guests. Since my father’s passing in 2014, I have taken over the business and continued to uphold these values, ensuring that our guests feel at home and cared for during their stay.
