Welcome to Jaaja Groves
The name “Jaaja” comes from our beloved grandfather, who was fondly called Jaaja by his children. Today, we proudly carry forward his name through this venture, creating a space where comfort and care come together.
We are two cousins from the hills of Kodagu, based in Madikeri, united by a shared passion for travel, pets, and hospitality.
