The Host

Welcome to Acchannas! I’m Ajay, your host here in the heart of Malnad. I was born in Thirthahalli, but I spent much of my early life in Bengaluru, where I went to school and college. Every summer, though, I’d find myself back here, exploring the natural beauty and soaking in the local culture. Those childhood memories are still some of my fondest, and they shaped my deep connection to this place.

Most of my career was spent in the Middle East, working in the services industry around web and mobile app development. I was on the marketing side, so I’ve always had a passion for connecting with people. Having spent much of my life abroad, I decided to return to my roots in Thirthahalli, a place close to my heart since childhood. It’s a space where I aim to share the warmth, traditions, and charm of this land that I’ve always cherished. Now, I want to bring that same sense of connection to Acchannas, where guests can experience the warmth, traditions, and charm that I’ve cherished since my childhood. It’s those experiences that I hope to share with you, so you can leave with memories that will stay with you long after your stay.
