Well, this review might not give you exact details of how to reach the place, how to book, what to see, and similar stuffs of practical nature:) but then I’m just trying to share the unforgettable experience I had there . For all your practical needs visit Nature Nirvana’s website, you’ll find all possible information you want. Dawn was almost on the verge of breaking out as we four friends reached Nature Nirvana after a terrific ride through bumpy road, saw hell lot of wild bunnies on the way, the savage me wanted to hunt but they were too fast for me to catch:). Welcomed by cheerful Elizabeth aunty.
She made a little mistake at first which was soon mended as we were allotted cozy rooms as per booking. Hit the bed as I was damn tired, woke up just to find Raghu standing in front of me with a smile as pure as it can be asking whether I would like coffee or tea, coffee; it had to be for I was in Chikmagalur, the coffee county.Came out of my room only to find that I was very close to heaven, I could hear the softly spoken magic spells of a mountain stream, sound of cool breeze.
Then came Kutty uncle(always ready to take you out for an adventurous jeep ride, and always ready to serve me a cup of black coffee.as black as hell, as strong as death.as sweet as love) asking for breakfast. It was simple but yummy, so were all other meals, all kudos to Elizabeth aunty and her team, but if you like something exotic you should probably ask Kutty uncle to arrange some wild fowls for you , there are plenty of them. Enjoy the evening bar-b-que party with soft music to go with it, you really don’t need anything else to intoxicate you, let the mother nature do the trick.
I’ve absolutely no idea as how three days passed by, I was like completely comfortably numb, the cottage, the surrounding, the mountains, the jungle, the stream, the gorge, the lake, the hospitality of Kutty uncle, Raghu, Elizabeth aunty.all.all engulfed my senses, my feelings, I was feeling like knocking on heaven’s door, I just wiped out how I mess up myself seating in front of comp day after day from my head. I don’t want to describe the place in detail as I feel my words can’t do justice, to feel how it feels, you have to be there.
Go to https://naturenirvana.com, and I bet, you will come back with your head full of memories, rejuvenated & recharged soul, gone should be the heavy heart if you take it there, you will feel like coming back to life once again. Believe me:) Some info about the place:
Distance from Bangalore:~260KM
Getting there: Take your own vehicle if you are confident of handling 20mins of very bumpy ride through treacherous ghat section, else book a cab. You can also go to Chikmagalur from Bangalore by bus and you can avail the pickup facility provided by Nature Nirvana there, but be sure to book that while booking the accommodation.
What to see: raw nature
What to do: depends on you, but to get some thrill ask Kutty uncle for a Jeep ride to sunset point
