Mahout Resort

Well, the stay was an absolute nightmare in my personal experience, there was no electricity for the entire day including overnight within the resort and guess what, they do not have a power backup. It was so dark as its literally in the woods, and eventhough I was carrying a torch it failed to help much as the ceiling is made of either bamboo or wood, so the light does not reflect. Coming to the food, its expensive and very very average, the people, the staff they were nice. It's a rich man's estate who has just put some workers and staff and running it as a so called resort (the service was very local and unprofessional, they are not trained.), although it does not deserve the title "resort". Also keep in mind its a remote location and they have a jeep service to pick you up from a pickup point down hill, so once you get to the top, there's no way you could come down on your own. I definitely do not recommend families to visit this place, young group of adventure seeking travellers and friends can go, but solo travellers must avoid as this place felt really dead, and couples, don't even think. Even walking on the floor makes screching noises, so you know if you know. It's in middle of a forest, so if you are into that (like myself) you can give it a shot, and be-aware of the leeches, please wear boots, its a wild forest. Oh and they have a super friendly dog named Charlie in the premise, who assisted me in my hike, a lovely dog indeed, I'd go there just to meet Charlie again :)

Mahout is a beautiful resort. Manager and other service people are extremely nice n helpful. Breakfast was fine. Restaurant menu we found on higher side. They have a beautiful waterfall and the service people accompany us to the waterfall for our safety from wild animals. Only drawback is, they have 4-5 km offroad, which they should have mentioned afterafter booking or call and confirm with the customer one day in advance. We took our bike, and without this offroad knowledge we went ahead and was stuck in between. Later we called them and they came for pickup. But it would be great in the inform the customer about parking and jeep ride.

Overall stay was good. Place is off the main road by almost 3kms and you need to get there via a 4x4. Place is very good. 5/5 for the location. just that it can be kept a lot cleaner. Lots of plastic around the property which can easily be cleaned. Staff are super friendly!!

it was overall a good experience with mahout stay and their staff. a very calm, quiet and adventorous (if you are interested). also we loved charlie 🐶 who welcomes everyone with much love
