Chikmagalur food, sight-seeing and shopping options
Food was nice in the restaurant attached to the hotel in Kadur. The hotel is an economy one charging Rs.550 per day. On 26th we visited Kemmangundi Hills, Baba Budan giri, Kalathgiri or Kalahatti Falls, Bhadra Dam etc. And retired to hotel in the evening around 7 P.M. On 27th we just planned to visit Hebbe Falls, the road is very bad and you need to board the jeep to go there. We had Qualis, however except jeep you cannot go there. So getting into 1 jeep was time consuming. We were 6 people. So around 2 p.m we got one jeep and went there. We had a bath in the falls after trekking down, crossing 3 streams. Oh, it was slippery and we have to be very careful to cross them. But it was wonderful and refreshing to get a bath over there, its quite a good experience. On our way back, it was already 5:30 p.m, going to be dark, and also it was raining heavily, we had our tire punctured. And it was a funny scene. The road is terrific and only one vehicle can go, there are turning points from where 2 vehicles can pass but they are very few. So if any vehicle comes on our way either one has to go back to give another vehicle space.S o all the vehicles were jammed and there is a long que in the hill because of our vehicle. So many people got down there to help our vehicle move so that the road gets free. It was already 6 p.m. And ultimately the tyre was replaced and we reached Kemmangundi. We changed our dress in the Qualis. It was already dark and around &p.m. We were damn hungry. We ate snacks there and started for Bangalore. We ate dinner on our way at 8:30 P.M.

Hotel Review of Nature Craft Homestay
Comments: Ansar (the owner of this homestay) is very friendly. He makes you feel at ease. His mom's chicken biriyani is simply amazing !! Her Omelettes and Puddings are a feast to holidayers.
Best Experience: The hosts are very friendly. The place is set amidst coffee and pepper plantations, and is ideal for people who want a serene vacation..
All the guests have Bfast and lunch together, and Ansar joins them for the meal. Ansar strikes good conversations during the meals, and sometimes tells us interesting things about Chikmaglur.
Worst Experience: No bad experiences at all.. A suggestion might be to lower the prices :-) .

The homestay was a wonderful experience. The rooms are extremely nice and clean and the food was awesome. Most importantly, the hospitality of the family was amazing. We wanted to relax after some hectic schedule in Bangalore and we indeed had a nice time. You can go back just to have this great homestay experience....

Hotel Review of Nature Craft Homestay
I found Chikamagalur as one of the best hill stations of South. It is located at a calm and serene place with greenery all around. Since, there are only 4 rooms here, I advise you to book it in advance. One section has 2 separate rooms with attached toilets and common hall, which can accommodate 4-6 members . Rooms have T.V. with Cable connection, Hot water, Clean rooms/toilet, Mosquito repellents, parking space for your car. Rates charged by Ansar (host...

Hotel Review of Nature Craft Homestay
Great. Rare to get hosts as sweet as them. Ansar's mother - amazing cuisine she prepares with the able assistance of Ansar's wife (and may be Ansar In the Background!!). What was amazing was that even the veg dishes were out of the world. How could u manage this? I wish to ask that charming lady born and brought up at Karachi! ( I have even confessed to her that it will be impossible for a bad eater like me...

Hotel Review of Nature Craft Homestay
After a 5 hr ride on my bullet alone I was little tired by the time i reached. But with so much of trees/ creepers/ greens around i was kind of fresh again. The location of the resort is perfect. Not to far off from Chikmaglur and not to near from the town as well. Its a pretty clean, green and quite place. I would rather say a very ideal place to sit in the late evening and relax. My...
