Reunion 50 ’26

Reflecting on our incredible 2022 gathering, The Raviz Kadavu in Calicut remains a legendary chapter in our reunion history. The seamless blend of Malabar hospitality and the Nila riverfront provided a backdrop that was, quite frankly, magical.

The Kadavu Experience

• Premium Standard: With an average cost of ₹15,500 per family (₹11,500 for the room + ₹4,000 for food), Kadavu offers a high-end, luxury experience that we know guarantees quality.
• The Nostalgia Factor: There is no denying the comfort of returning to a place where we’ve already made great memories; the service and atmosphere are tried and tested.
• The "Repetition" Concern: While the venue is world-class, we should be mindful of the repetition effect. Having hosted our 2022 event there, we want to ensure each reunion feels like a brand-new adventure rather than a sequel.

Kadavu is a gold standard for us, but our current challenge is balancing that guaranteed "magic" against the desire for a fresh environment.

Nestled in the lush rainforests of Wayanad, Vythiri Village offers a serene escape into nature. This option includes a nostalgic group bus trip starting from our alma mater, Calicut Medical College.

The Vythiri Experience

• The Journey: A collective bus trip from Calicut Medical College to Wayanad (~₹2,000/head for transport).
• Estimated Cost: Approx ₹12,000–₹14,000 per family (including stay + food + transport). A premium nature resort experience.
• Ambience: Cool climate, mist-covered hills, and a relaxing, extended-stay vibe away from the city.

Challenges to Consider

• Accessibility & The Churam: The ghat road (Thamarassery Churam) can be unpredictable with traffic blocks, potentially delaying travel.
• Monsoon Risks: Wayanad heavy rains could impact outdoor activities and travel comfort.
• Logistics: Moving a large group up the hills is more complex compared to city/coastal venues.

Bolgaty palace , is one highly recommended property as our venue. Set on a historic island amidst the serene Kochi backwaters, it offers a unique blend of heritage and "magic" that we believe is essential for this milestone gathering.

Why Bolgatty Palace?

• Unbeatable Value: At an average cost of ₹7300 per family (₹4,500 for the room + ₹2,800 for dinner) + GST, this option is approximately ₹3,000 cheaper than any other venue of comparable caliber, without compromising on the premium ambience we deserve.
• Fresh Experience: To avoid the "repetition effect," we are steering away from past locations like Kadavu Resort, Calicut (2022).
• Logistical Ease: Unlike Vythiri Village in Wayanad, which presents significant logistical risks for a group of our size, Bolgatty is easily accessible while remaining secluded.

We truly feel that we need the charm of Bolgatty to recreate the magic of our college days and the last reunion.
