Surrounded with lush green beauty, on top of the mountain and feel of Kalagadh and Jim Corbet national park, itโs completely peaceful place to be for some days.
We really… Read More enjoyed our stay. Food is amazing, Mr frank is a good host with lot of talent(singing, anchor & conduct activities). Rawat sir.. we truly enjoyed your piano talent.
Early in the morning 4 am i woke up with sound of deer grazing near our balcony, it was such a mesmerising experience.
For me driving experience from Dugadha to resort was really adventurous. You would really pass through dense forest and itโs truly enjoyable as its kind of USP of this resort. resort has really nice pool. there is a waterfall nearby which is truly a treasure not to miss. More

The property stands out for several reasons but what we found laudable is its model of sustainable development in an area that is pretty remote and sparsely populated. Its owner Satender Rawat, whom we had the pleasure of meeting, has thoughtfully enriched the beauty of the place by planting a wide variety of species of plants and trees. The landscaping has been done meticulously to retain the original character of the hill. He has created employment opportunities for the locals and used his creativity to build this beautiful place over the last fifteen years. The crisp air is accentuated by the sense of wilderness that constantly errs over the place, which I found exciting. There is a beautiful swimming pool, a well-stocked library and plenty of areas to stroll around. Every corner offers fantastic views of the mountains. The staff is soft-spoken, prompt, and caring. Mr Rawat also played the piano for us, which we thought was sweet, and we appreciated his passion for nature, life, and music. We also drove down to a beautiful waterfall nearby.
