Testimonial
“It was a wonderful and unique experience for me and for my wife to stay at this resort. We stayed for two nights at two different machans to enjoy to the fullest. The staff, especially, Adnan and Baba at the reception and service both were excellent. We recommend visiting this place once in a while to experience nature at its best. Thank You!” – Dhaval
