A place filled with nature’s serenity and tranquillity is one where relaxation, rejuvenation and even adventure come naturally. An ecological wonderland that goes by the name of Coorg is the perfect place to forget all about the city’s pressures and expectations. This off-the-beaten-track stay, Keremane Estate, in a sleepy little hamlet of Beckesodlur, is picturesque, eco-friendly and spread over five acres. The rustic, old-world charm of the property will win you over as soon as you set your eyes upon it. A large lake in the centre of the estate is sure to hog all the attention! The property owes its name, Keremane, to this lake, which translates into "a house on the lakeside". The cottages are simple but comfortable and are equipped with all the modern facilities. Warm, earthen colours soothe the eyes that are used to barren greys of the city. Pretty ethnic artwork adorn the walls of the cottages that have thatched roof. One would think that cozy rooms would be small but this is definitely not the case here! The large, airy rooms looking out to the best of everything that nature has to offer, will make you feel right at home. Feel the rich culture and tradition of Karnataka in everything that the accommodation has to offer, right from its scenic surroundings to the misty balconies of all the cottages. A holiday isn’t just about relaxation. Get out and play a game of cricket or badminton with your near and dear ones in the sprawling grounds of Keremane estate. If an outdoor sport isn’t up your alley, indulge in the Game of Kings or what it is more commonly known as - chess; or maybe a game of carrom. Take a walk through the coffee plantations, or go out and visit the local attractions of the area - Iruppu falls, Nagarhole forest, Dubbare Elephant Camp and much more. All this activity is sure to boost your appetite. Fret not, though! Authentic vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes of Kodava cuisine await you in the dining area. You can make prior requests for certain dishes of your choice too. If you’re a couple on holiday, a romantic candlelight dinner can be arranged, as well. Relax with an Ayurvedic massage after. If the rain gods favour you, you can enjoy the petrichor while relaxing with your loved ones, wondering why you did not do this sooner…
