This is my third trip with Giresh and his delightful family, we spent 2 nights and 3 days there. The accomodation is clean simple and food and service excellent. However, as a bird photographer what was more important was the birding. I set Giresh a challenge and he picked them off one by one: Malabar Trogon, Grey Breasted Laughing Thrush,... More

This is a terrific budget option. We had a marvellous time here and stayed longer than we planned as we enjoyed it so much. The house is well sited and very quiet and tranquil yet close to good bird watching areas. It was very hot and the A/C room with its own sitting out area provided everything we needed. And... More

750 pp not too bad all in all. Location good, nice family, decent indian food three times a day. No discount given if you skip meals. They could be also be more accommodating if people dont eat curry for every meal though. They were a bit pushy with offering us a bird watching package and added a few extra on... More
