The host, the view, and the overall comfotable stay.

The house is a bit run down. The photos does not show those, open wires, unfinished construction work.

The stunning location – right on the slope of the mountains with a breathtaking view of the lake, especially beautiful in the monsoon. The villa’s design – a perfect mix of old-world charm and contemporary aesthetics. The interiors – tasteful furniture, smart room layouts, large windows bringing in natural light and cosy, comfortable beds. The upkeep – the property is very well maintained. The caretakers – Mr. Rajesh and his wife, who were polite, attentive and served amazing home-cooked local food. The overall experience – a truly relaxing stay for families, ideal for unwinding in nature.

One important point worth noting is the approach to the villa. The slope and drive up are very steep — only a 4x4 jeep can go all the way up. Other cars need to be parked lower down, after which there’s a walk of nearly 150 meters uphill to reach the villa. This isn’t ideal for elders or anyone who may have difficulty walking. It would be great if the owners could repair the slope so that regular cars can also drive up directly.
