Stay
Canvas pavilions on timber platforms in the grassland, with a proper bed and bathroom.
The room
The Glamping Pavilions put the outdoors right beside your pillow: canvas walls on a raised timber platform at the edge of the shola grassland, a real bed with heavy quilts and an attached bathroom with hot water. Roll up the front flaps for a sky full of stars and wake to gaur grazing on the far slope if you are lucky. Nights are cold from November to February, so we add a hot-water bottle and a heater on request. A private fire pit is lit for you each evening.

Birding paradise. Hornbills from the balcony, a paradise flycatcher on the morning walk and a kingfisher by the stream. The naturalist knew every call and never rushed us. One of the best stays of our India trip.
Smooth temple day. We did Horanadu, Kalasa and Sringeri in one day with their driver, who knew every timing and got us the prasada meal at Horanadu. Coming back to a warm cottage and a simple vegetarian dinner was ideal for my parents, who are in their seventies.
Beautiful, but know what you are signing up for. The setting and the staff are lovely, and the night trail with glowing fungi was the best hour of the trip. But the network is almost non-existent in the cottage and Wi-Fi gave up in the storm, so I could not take a work call. Fine if you want to disconnect; plan ahead if not.
