It was a short family trip to Chikmagalur, we were a big group of 30 and were to stay at a homestay called “Nature Nirvana”. I was a bit skeptical about the homestay itself after a recent bad experience at a Madikeri homestay (Honeypot – DO NOT venture here!). But, being located almost 35km away from Chikmagalur, this place was literally in the midst of nowhere and it indeed was nirvana amidst nature! The place was awesome, and so were the caretakers – super nice and accommodating.
I did not expect to spend much time on photography on this trip, but the place seemed to have a wide variety of photo opportunities. Though I did spend most of the time with family people – chatting, playing, etc – I did take my camera out on a few occasions and here are a few images.

Yeah – so that is where we stayed. Very pristine location indeed. The view behind the homestay was stunning.
