TOUR OVERVIEW
Highlights:
* The home stay is a 500+ acre coffee estate with multiple hills, miles of jeep tracks, river Hemavathi that runs along and through it, and a few waterfalls.
* The coffee is also top notch – the estate coffees have won a huge number of awards across the world over the last decade.
The Estate and the surrounding areas are wonderful for walks, hikes and even day long treks around. There’s a park with a surprise at the top of the hill within the estate. There’s the Sakleshpur Railway Line hike to explore. For the guide and guide rates, please ask estate staff.
You can ask the staff to take you on a coffee tour and learn how coffee is grown, it’s various avatars and end products – there’s even a lab in the estate for a cupping session! There are a few cycles – riding around is both challenging and fun.
Of course, the stream and waterfall will keep you engrossed for hours. The estate and surrounding areas are perfect for birding. The terrace affords a great view of the canopy and the region has a huge variety – we’re told the estate has been a favorite haunt of birders from Bangalore in the past as well.
Outside, there’s the Manjirabad Fort that’s worth a visit on the way in/out, and you can always take a detour to stop at Sravana Belagola. But most of all, sit back and relax over board games, coffee, and the bonfire. It’s a wonderful place for doing nothing.
