Well Connected? NOT!
If you are expecting that your cell phone will show full connectivity, you are wrong. The idea is not be indulgent in technology but to be indulgent with nature. The cottage organises various activities which initiate dialogue with fellow travellers and make your stay interesting.
Cost Effective
If you like travelling on a budget, then this will fit right just in. One night at this beautiful cottage will not cost you more than ₹700. Yes! That’s less than the cost of an air purifier! Clean, green and more importantly, offering fresh air to breathe in is one of the biggest perks of travelling to this property.
It takes 5 and a half hours to reach from Delhi to Dehradun, by road. So approximately, it will take you about 6 hours to reach the cottage. And once you are there, cut yourself off from the hustle bustle of the city and make the most of the natural setting around you.
