Trupthi Guest Home

Writing this review after spending two days at this wonderful homestay. Firstly, I want to appreciate and thank Mr. Chetan (Owner) for all his help right from directing the bus driver to drop us off at a place closer to the homestay to planning outdoor activities; and a special thanks to his wife (sorry if I have mistaken) who was kind enough to prepare Maggi for us when there all the hotels were closed. We genuinely appreciate your kind gesture. Secondly, the homestay is absolutely beautiful, it's everything you would wish a homestay to be - clean, spacious, reasonable price and the best part is the view from the rooms, absolutely breathtaking. Here's a few tips for those planning to visit this place/homestay: 1) If you are planning to travel to this homestay by bus, I strongly recommend you to first call the owner (Mr.Chetan) before you book tickets who will guide you about the drop-off points, routes etc. 2) The local transport (auto/car) is quite expensive, travelling by auto would cost you a minimum of 500rs, and by car it will cost 1000rs. Prices may vary. Those travelling on budget, keep this is mind. 3) For food I highly recommend a place called Lakshmi Bhavana which very close to the homestay. The reason being, ~ Food is delicious, and you can eat to your hearts content at a very reasonable price. ~ Coffee and snacks are THE best. ~ The most important is, the attitude of the couple/family serving you at the hotel, so genuine and kind, they always serve with a smile. The experience was just memorable. In fact, I personally prefer this hotel to the other hotels in the vicinity and to the food provided at the homestay (if applicable). 4) Carry raincoats if you plan outdoor activites and warm clothes is a must. 5) Places we loved the most: ~ KyatanaMakki Hills - this is a must visit because words cannot express the beauty of this place. Jeep ride this place is an experience in itself and an expensive one to but worth it. ~ Meruthi Hills - One of karnataka's highest peaks. You will have to take an auto till a particular point and trek about 1.5-2km to the peak. I have attached pictures from the trip, two are taken from our room (one with an auto/sumo and mist covered peak), KyatanaMakki Hills (Jeep front facing), Meruthi hill (one with a pond), Barkhanghatta Hill (Jeep side facing) and the hotel (Lakshmi Bhavana) I mentioned above. Thanks for patiently reading this review and I hope it helps. Would definitely recommend this place and homestay to anyone who wants to get away from all the busy/city life. Looking forward to coming back soon. Cheers!

Nice place to stay full of mountains , to cover all the. Places al least 2 days needed mny trekking point waterfalls full of coffeestate even food was very teasty at Lakshmi bhawan owner is vry supportive and the guesthome is maintained vry clean and haigenic instead of staying in city my suggestion to stay here becoz it's not so far from Chikmanglor sefty place dnt miss this place once in a lifetime tns to chetan sir for his guideline

Satisfying home stay with scenic backdrop! The rooms are clean, nicely located, properly staffed. The caretaker Mr. Chetan stays right below the hotel & he's available for all info, assistance, etc. The staffs were easy & friendly despite language difference. They offer cooked food, campfire, etc on request. Appreciated their serving attitude.

Best place to spend time, new experience and staff members are so friendly and helpful mainly Sumanth. There are many places to explore nearby, if you have your own vehicle it will be very helpful. Here you can find only small hotels with limited options. But the food they arrange to room only, is tasty and affordable.
