Located away from the beaten track, this boutique eco resort offers rustic bungalows amidst dense forest. The bungalows are open and crafted from natural and recycled materials, so that guests can feel fully a part of the surrounding landscape. Guests are encouraged to leave a minimal footprint, using biodegradable soaps and avoiding single-use plastics. The resort also makes a point to conserve water, using the river to generate 60% of its electricity and offering unlimited filtered spring water.

In addition to reducing waste and preserving resources, the resort works with the local community on social projects such as establishing a library at the primary school, funding sporting groups and contributing to road maintenance. The resort also places a strong emphasis on sustainability, providing the villagers with training in sustainable farming methods and encouraging them to pick up litter around their neighbouring villages.
