Dog Boarding Near Attingal — Neolokam Cage-Free Farm, 30 km Away
Attingal and surrounding towns like Chirayinkeezhu have very few premium pet boarding options. Neolokam — Kerala's only genuine open-land cage-free boarding farm — is 30 km away along the Attingal–Trivandrum highway. For many Attingal dog owners, this is the best boarding facility within reasonable driving distance, and it is worth every kilometre.
What Cage-Free Really Means at Neolokam
Attingal dog owners who have searched for boarding locally know that options are limited and often cage-based. Neolokam offers something genuinely different — 1.5 acres of agricultural farmland where dogs roam, play, swim, and rest in supervised groups without a cage or concrete kennel in sight.

How Boarding Works — 3 Steps
Simple, transparent process. No surprises.
Trial Visit (Mandatory)
Bring your dog between 6–9 AM. We assess behaviour, energy level, and social compatibility. No boarding without this step.
Assessment & Grouping
Based on the trial, your dog is placed in the right group — Saints (calm), Fireballs (high energy), or Stars (sensitive).
Book & Board
Once cleared, book via WhatsApp or call. Drop-off and pickup: 6–9 AM daily. Daily updates throughout the stay.
Getting Here from Attingal
Neolokam is located at Kollodu, Malayinkil — approximately 30 km from Attingal. Members can arrange pickup/drop coordination.
Route from Attingal
From Attingal, take the NH-66 toward Trivandrum. At Balaramapuram junction, branch toward Malayinkil. The farm at Kollodu is approximately 30 km from Attingal town — about 40–45 minutes depending on traffic on the national highway. This is the most direct and straightforward route.
Residents of Chirayinkeezhu, Varkala, and surrounding areas along the Attingal highway corridor also find Neolokam accessible via the same route. For dogs that need quality boarding and you cannot find it locally, the 30 km drive is genuinely the right choice.
Pickup & Drop Coordination
Members boarding for 5+ days may enquire about pickup/drop coordination from the Attingal area. Due to the distance, coordination requires advance booking. WhatsApp us a week before your trip to discuss options. Drop-off and pickup: 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM daily.

FAQ — Attingal Dog Owners
Is 30 km from Attingal to Neolokam too far for boarding?
For most Attingal dog owners, 30 km is manageable — it is about 40–45 minutes via NH-66 and the Balaramapuram route. Given that there are no genuine open-land cage-free boarding facilities in the Attingal area, the drive to Neolokam is the difference between your dog in a cage and your dog on 1.5 acres of farmland. Most members make the drive regularly without hesitation.
Are there any dog boarding facilities closer to Attingal?
There are small in-home boarding and kennel operations in the Attingal area, but none offer the open-land, cage-free, trained-staff environment that Neolokam provides. If you want genuine premium boarding — not just a house or a kennel — Neolokam is the closest quality option in the Trivandrum district.
Can I visit the farm first before committing to boarding?
Yes, and this is mandatory. Every new dog must complete a trial visit at the farm between 6–9 AM before any boarding stay. The trial visit assesses your dog's behaviour, energy level, and compatibility with the farm environment. You are welcome to see the full facility during the visit.
