The tropical rainforests of the Western Ghats of India are amongst the richest in the world and this region has been internationally recognized as one of the important hotspots of biodiversity that need to be preserved. The Rainforest Retreat is situated 10 km north-west of Madikeri Town in one of the most natural and scenic areas of Kodagu District (in the heart of the Western Ghats). At 1100m altitude, we enjoy a superb climate from October to May. It is sunny with temperatures reaching 20-27 C by Day and 10-18 C at night. We can arrange for pick-up in Bangalore, Mangalore, or Mysore and bring you directly and comfortably to the retreat. Please note that we are not a conventional 'resort' but a unique eco-retreat for those who want to be close to nature.
