You’d heave a sigh of relief as you draw closer to the cool forest of the Malnad region. With tall trees, winding vines of pepper and fresh coffee plants greeting your sight in every bend that you take. As you get to the foot hills, the road ends and a wonderful life begins.
Nestled in the lap of Western Ghats studded with evergreen forests, sholas and grasslands, This resort is rated as one of the best resorts in Sakleshpur by Traveller Magazine and easily qualifies as a true eco-destination. What greets you is pure pristine nature.

Spread over 70 acres, bordering the reserve forest and very near the elephant corridor, this resort houses well appointed cottages, log rooms and log house. The facilities created are balanced between a home stay and a Tropical Rain Forest Resort to ensure that they blend with nature while providing you the comfort that you need.
ACTIVITIES
TREKKING
Explore the many trekking paths that surround the area. Paths that invisibly line every mountain. Through streams, into forests, over hills and into valleys. Walking is the best way to discover more of these little wonders. Here’s a look at some of the trekking options.
Day Trek – Moorken Betta: Located at about 4,500 ft. above sea level, the trek takes about 1.5 hours to reach the summit. The panoramic view of Western Ghats is breathtaking. Ideally, get some snacks packed so you don’t have to worry about the time that you spend on the top.
OFF ROADING
In the words of Ashwin, rally driver INRC, “these terrains are among the best for off-road driving and rally”.
Recently, our resort hosted and arranged for the Great Escape Rally organized by Mahindra & Mahindra and for a score of other private off-road groups. On a regular basis, we do offer our guests a short off-road experience at an additional cost.
Please do check with us the various options or for a customized plan which can be a day activity to a 24 hour activity with a night stay in the wilderness.
PHOTOGRAPHY
There is usually a broad line between civilization and wilderness. But somehow at resort that line seems to fade into oblivion. As one steps out of their cozy cabin to walk around, little treats of wilderness magically appear. The tiny world of insects and butterflies.
Myriad colours and hues paint their backs, fronts and wings. Walk around. Up the path into the Shola and one can discover more of this magic. In secret hiding places, at select auspicious times, there emerges a flash of beauty as orchids bloom. Rare. Endemic and ethereal.
Almost bizarre this world of tiny tots. You’ll find it all around you at resort and capture them to your imagination.
