STAY EXPERIENCES: VALLEY VIEW COTTAGES

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 be staying in lovely Eco Cottages on twin sharing basis.

1. Each eco cottage has a beautiful valley view with cascading waterfalls from the months of June to November.
2. Every cottage has a spacious attaching bath and  comes with its own verandah, both facing the valley.
3. NO TV, NO AIR CONDITIONING. Just peace and nature for company.

"Yesterday night 26th January 2010 I returned to Calcutta from my trip to Chorla Ghat.
I reached there on 23rd at around 3.00 pm and was wondering if I would get lunch at such odd hours. The staff said " no problem sir, just give us 5 minutes". What a sumptous lunch my wife and I were served. Sumptous.
The place was marvellous, the ambience, surroundings are beyond words.The staff Krishna, Namdeo, Deepak - the names I can remember their attitude and behaviour was outstanding.
I was handed over a 'comments card', - What comments do I have to offer. It was flawless.
I look forward to visit the place again.
My pick-up and drop at airport was with precision.
Thanks and thanks once again."

"Thanks for all the arrangement made for us. Must complement the management for maintaining the property so very immaculately. Really beautifully designed and serviced. The staffs were very friendly and helpful and professional too. They were very warm and all of them went an extra mile to serve us better. Food was equally good and had a great variety. Good view and well maintained. Good value for money.
In one sentence I can say this is a ‘heaven on earth experience’ .

We will certainly refer the place to our friends and relatives. And will surely visit in future.
We wish you all the best."

Thanks and regards.
