Nava Jyoti Restaurant Thekkady: During our visit to Tekkady, Kerala, we were looking for some places where we can have vegetarian food. Our driver knows the places as they are from travel agency and they regularly visit the places. So he took us to a hotel Nava Jyoti Restaurant Thekkady. Initially I though it to be a pure south indian hotel. However, at this hotel Gujarati and north Indian food available.
The interesting part of this is that two of the hotel staff are from Odisha. At lunch table we were talking in Odia and one of them asked us are you from Odisha and then he started speaking in Odisha – and how they came to Kerala all the way from Odisha…
We have ordered some Gujarati and north Indian food which was delicious. The staff there are very friendly and co-operative.
After lunch we went back to the hotel took some rest and immediately we started to see some other tourist spots and for the evening we already bought tickets for Kathakali and Martial art performance.
