An Excellent place with great ambience for a office trip. Located in the centre of a Coffee estate made things better esp. the tent like a Jungle Lodge. The trek near to Champakaranya is an excellent place with beautiful scenery and wild life habitat and Bird Watching. The Soligas dance was a special feature with Good Food just like our home. It is near to K Gudi and made the trip all the more enjoying. The Camp fire at night made us relax. The homestay is in the viscinity of the Ranganatha Temple with a great scenic view from Temple top. One of the Best Places in BR hills is Champakaranya. Worth a visit

I highly recommend Champakaranya in BR Hills for both families and wildlife/bird enthusiasts. It is strategically located - 18 kms from K Gudi camp. The accommodation is very neat - what you see on their web site is exactly what you get in reality. The staff are very friendly. Food is pure vegetarian and very tasty as well. Despite having 3 small children in our group, we had no issues with anything - either the accommodation or the food or any of the facilities there. Though there are perennial challenges with power in this region, we never felt any discomfort as there was a constant generator back up as well. The staff there are very friendly. I would like to make a special mention of two of them - Srinivas and Prashanth. Srinivas ensured that there was absolutely no problem with any of the facilities including food and beverages. Prashanth was very helpful with several things such as - arranging a wildlife safari, helping us spot some extremely rare species of birds, taking us on a trek for bird photography, etc.

Overall, we were very satisfied with the entire experience. I will definitely return to this place for more. I would like to thank Mr.Vasudeva Rao and Mr.Satish for managing this place so efficiently. Please continue to maintain the same standards.
