STAY EXPERIENCES: FROM HUTS TO PALACES

You will love to stay in ethnic cottages built by local craftsman using traditional architecture technologies and primarily natural local material that are sustainable, eco friendly, naturally breathable and well ventilated, non toxic and very healthy to live in. Very often these eco lodges have age old and highly effective waste management systems, and usually naturally cool and warm and not requiring energy intensive heating or air conditioning.

You will love to stay in some of the most incredible accommodations inside forest, in colonial hill stations, on a farm, inside a tree house, in a earthen cottage, in log huts, cottages, and heritage palaces and home stays.
