A Plantation Hostel
Misty mornings, rolling tea estates and pine-scented trails. Cosy dorms for solo travellers, friends and families.
About Us
The Nook is a small, laid-back hostel tucked into a plantation in Vagamon. We built it for backpackers, friends and families who want fresh air, good company and a comfortable bed — without the fuss.
Spend your days trekking the meadows and pine forests, and your evenings around the campfire under a sky full of stars.

Bunks for backpackers, private cottages for a quieter escape. Every stay comes with fresh linen and plantation air.
