Unwinding
amidst
Endless
Coffee
Greens
@
The
Pristine
Vistas:
A
New
Year's
Retreat
in
Chikmagalur!
Imagine
waking
up
to
the
invigorating
aroma
of
freshly
brewed
coffee,
surrounded
by
sprawling
emerald
hills
carpeted
with
coffee
plantations.
This
wasn't
just
a
New
Year's
dream;
it
was
a
reality
for
us
at
this
charming
property
nestled
amidst
the
serene
beauty
of
Chikmagalur.
Location:
The
property
itself
was
a
haven
of
tranquility,
tucked
away
amidst
several
acres
of
coffee
plantations
with
breathtaking
mountain
vistas
as
its
backdrop.
While
pleasantly
detached
from
the
hustle
and
bustle
of
Chikmagalur
town
(a
good
15
km
away),
the
journey
to
the
property
was
an
adventure
in
itself.
We
enjoyed
a
thrilling
off-road
ride
through
the
forest,
guided
by
the
ever-helpful
Mr.
Nafees
and
Mr.
Zama
in
their
trusty
Jeep.
The
chirping
of
birds
and
the
crisp,
enchanting
weather
set
the
perfect
tone
for
our
nature
immersion.
And
then
came
the
highlight
–
a
delightful
coffee
plantation
walk
under
the
shade
of
tall
trees,
an
experience
that
was
pure
bliss,
especially
with
the
exclusivity
of
being
the
only
guests
at
the
property.
Hospitality:
The
warmth
and
genuine
care
extended
by
the
hosts
truly
elevated
our
stay.
They
treated
us
like
family,
ensuring
we
had
a
beautiful
and
comfortable
time.
Mr.
Nafees
and
his
team
even
organized
a
crackling
bonfire
and
a
mouthwatering
barbecue,
experiences
that
etched
themselves
permanently
in
our
memories.
Food:
The
food
deserves
a
standing
ovation!
Every
meal
was
a
symphony
of
flavors,
prepared
with
fresh,
local
ingredients
and
cooked
to
perfection.
The
home-style
dishes,
predominantly
featuring
local
non-vegetarian
fare,
were
a
delightful
departure
from
our
usual
city
fare.
And
let's
not
forget
the
coffee
and
tea
–
brewed
from
their
own
plantation
beans,
they
were
the
perfect
way
to
start
and
end
each
day.
Overall:
From
the
luxurious
rooms
to
the
impeccable
service
and
the
unforgettable
experiences,
our
stay
at
this
Chikmagalur
gem
was
nothing
short
of
magical.
It's
a
haven
for
anyone
seeking
a
peaceful
escape
from
the
city's
chaos,
a
place
to
reconnect
with
nature
and
indulge
in
simple
pleasures.

the
adventurous
souls,
the
property
