It’s a great place to stay. Location is very beautiful and close to nature. View is magnificent, surrounded by greenery. This place is very well maintained and holds a history of 50+ years....Home cooked food was really delicious and was of Tulu Nadu style. Entire family of Hale Mane Estate takes care of management. There are many attractive places like Waterfalls, Temple and Ranipuram trek to enjoy. We can witness Buta Kola in summer but my personal suggestion will be always during Monsoon. They have a lovely estate infront with a variety of fruits and flowers for every season. We had opted for camp stay which was maintained very clean and hygiene.They have a small pond for playing and had organised mud games which was super fun. The best aspect is that they also give lots of information on places to explore nearby. And also about plantation if you are interested. I would highly recommend this place and I would definitely want to come back to this place again.

I had a great time at Halemane. One of the best places to get away from the busy city life. It’s so calming and relaxing as it’s amidst the nature. The stay was was great, the food amazing and a wonderful host! Speaking of the host, Ajith took care of us really well, made sure that we faced no problems and was always with us. The trek on the first day was quite adventurous passing through the forest and streams. The view from the peak was beautiful and totally worth it!!! The second day was spent with fun filled activities. All in all it’s a complete package, a home away from home. One should definitely visit with their family and friends!

Loved the old house feels and the warm welcome. The homemade food is exceedingly good. The waterfall hike, mud games, tentstay and ranipuram trek were all wonderful experiences. Would recommend for a great weekend getaway.

A definite destination to go, strongly recommend. Do visit to experience all this to yourself, while i really had so much fun, made many friends and the trek was wonderful just offers all the positive vibe you can imagine. Further to the food and accommodation as well was very authentic and nice. And again Hale Mane is absolutely a home away from home ! Keep up the good work guys, appreciate it. Thank you

Very decent place with cleanliness and care. They are really good hosts. Food they provide is completely home made. One feel their ajji mane memories here in hale mane. Bathrooms and toilets are really kept clean. Hot water is available 24X7. Tents are 3 sharing and 2 sharing, and the place where tents are set up is also clean and safe. Ample space to walk around, play mud games.. The owner treats you like there family not like guests. Thy do have some board games to sit n spend time in rainy evening. Many near by places to visit. Ajith's mom is the cute n beautiful lady who cooks for you and talks to you and makes your stay comfortable. I Would love to go again.

Stay, location, hospitality, food, trek…everything was great. Ajith and team took care of us very well during the trek. They are very passionate about their endeavour and it reflects in their work. All in all I would say we got “The best experience!!! “

What to say about this homestay.... I am speechless... first I need to praise owner Ajith and his team members (Nandini and Mithun )for their aweeeesome hospitality and FOOD. My mother used to say, " if you want to reach people heart it's with food you feed" Ajith mother she did exactly the same thing... she gave us unbelievable taste, quality and quantity of food that too unlimited. It was a complete surprise for me and I did not expected this. This is the ONE and ONLY homestay gave this taste, quality and quantity food in my experience. I really want to THANK Ajith for making this wonderful stay experience. Also the location they have this homestay is spectacular. It can't be explained it should be experienced. As per my experience I suggest anyone looking for homestay and getting lost from urban life, please consider this and you will never regret your decision.

If you are really looking for break from your buzy schedule, pack up and it's a must visit place along with ranipuram trek. Hospitality and stay is amazing. Such a nice place and people. Oh yeah, it's just a home away from home.

Very Beautiful place to stay, A very old around 100years old home surrounded by greenary, areca nut plantation beautiful garden with variety of fruits like Water Apple, Rambutan, Guava etc. We can try authentic Dakshina Kannada food etc. It's a complete package. Food was delicious, Stay was Unbelievable everything was the best💕😍⛺

A really great place to relax and enjoy nature, away from all the hustle bustle of the city life. The estate is spread across 20acres with a pool and a river stream that passes right through the property. The hosts were very sweet, we enjoyed their unique foods and our stay there was very comfortable. I genuinely enjoyed the Ranipuram trek organised by halemane, it's a short trek of 6kms but definitely worth the visit. I would genuinely recommend everyone to visit here during the monsoon season and experience the bliss of nature . Can't wait to visit here again!!!!

I had an incredible experience at this place. The perfect escape from the chaos of everyday life. From accommodation and hospitality to food, transportation, trekking, everything was top-notch. I highly recommend visiting this place at least once in your lifetime. The unique experience I had there will undoubtedly draw you back. It's a place away from the digital world, where you can truly appreciate happiness without relying on electronic gadgets. Don't miss out on this exceptional experience!

We had an amazing stay at the Hale mane estate which is a 50 years old traditional Kannada style homestay. The hosts made us felt welcoming and were amazing. We had great traditional food there. Overall a great experience.

Our family of 8 members were in Halemane for December holidays. The ambience and food was good. The hosts, Ajith and his parents were very kind and polite. They involved with us more since we went there as a family. Make free time and do visit Halemane.

Had the best time in Halemane! Most calmest trek I have ever been and the most beautiful stay ever! The service provided by Ajith was incredible! The stay , the food and mainly the cleanliness - chef's kiss! Whenever u are in Halemane - definitely try Kaltappa - breakfast! Thank u Ajith and his family for giving us the best experience and letting us try unique dishes!

Had the pleasure to visit this place through Mt. Kinetics and it was an amazing experience. Absolutely loved our stay at this homestay nestled amidst nature. Ajith was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. We were served delicious food. The genuine warmth of the host and his family made the experience even more special. Overall, an amazing experience that left us rejuvenated and wanting to come back for more!

Perfect homestay for a blissful escape away from the hustle and bustle of cities. Serene location amidst the lush green arecanut farm and unmatched melody of streams flowing through. You won't find hosts here, uncle, aunty and Ajith are people who feel warm hugs. Go and have your scenic experience ♥️
