This year, farmstays offering treks, homegrown meals and friendly cows are a popular antidote to lockdown blues The eight cows at The Banyan Tree Farm Stay (Pollachi) are celebrities, and they know it. Every Pongal people come from all over the world to fuss over them as they get bathed and decked up for Mattu Pongal. This year, the bovine divas will miss their international fans but are more than happy to pose for domestic followers. M Prabhu, the ninth generation owner of the 160-year-old farm says, he has hosted guests from 30 countries. This year, because of the pandemic, however, most of his guests are from in and around Tamil Nadu.
