    About the resort:
    —————–

    This resort is a perfect place for Nature lovers. Its ducked away deep in the nature, far far away from the hustle bustle of the city. Spending day and night amidst constant chirping of birds & insects is a fantastic feeling. You are right on top of the mountain surrounded by greenery on all sides, there are tall trees everywhere, flowers etc.

    Other highlights -
    —————–
    * This is a “Do-It-Yourself” place. No room service or waiters to help you.
    * No TV, no music allowed; absolute silence preferred
    * Ideal for Trekkers & bird watchers
    * Ideal for people who want to spend time in silence or read books
    * Ideal for Honeymooners. The interiors of the rooms are cozy and lazy!

    Avoid this place if you want to basically do sight-seeing of Coorg. This is a place to just relax and not go out anywhere.

    There is a lot of place to play. You should carry your own sports equipment though. There is a Swing & a natural see-saw for Children.

    Food
    —–

    Its like home made food. The owner’s wife runs the kitchen and prepares food for the guests. The food is mostly vegetarian (unless you place a request in advance for Fish) and tasty. Nothing exotic, and you will not miss it also. Simplicity is the word here!
