Jungle Hut

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Jungle Hut. We spent 3 nights and celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday there. The staff are very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. The cottages were very comfortable. We had the added luxury of enjoying massages in our room. There is a very comfortable lounge where one can just hang out. The ambience is perfect to plan a big family or friend’s reunion. We will be back!

Some of the coined descriptions of the Jungle Hut Resort by our family that visited Jungle Hut were: "Heaven on Earth", "Friendly and Enjoyable", "Simply Superb", "Amazingly Beautiful", "Luxurious Serenity", and "Just Perfect"!!!!!! The staff at Jungle Hut, then, consisted of Aniket (Manager), Tracy, Nikhil, Biswajeet Pal (Chef) - all under the able leadership of the owners (Vikram and his wife, Anushree). Apologies for leaving out the names of several other support staff. During our last visit (I think we have made a total of 3 or 4 visits to date and one more scheduled for January2025), we were greeted (soon after check in) by a herd of deers, freely roaming around just outside our cottage! What a beautiful sight. And, the chirping of "Red whispered Bulbuls" - so many of them, living free in nature - just outside! Lunch selections were wide and very tasty! I'd give it a 15 out of 10. (Yes, 15 out of 10!) "Afternoon Tea" consisted of a selection: tea, coffee, "filter coffee", hot milk, etc. And, of course, "sweet and slightly salty" cookies to go with it. It was an excellent experience - just absolutely great! The food, both South Indian and North Indian dishes, the service, the choice, etc. were out of this world!!  Night was very quiet! Peaceful - exceptional rest at night! Woke up to birds chirping - beautiful way to wake up (instead of an alarm clock!). We did hear sounds of bamboo breaking at night, from the forest nearby. Following mornings, we were to learn that elephants are frequent visitors to this place. Peaceful coexistence? You bet!! We got to see a "lone tusker" one late evening, minding his business, chomping on the bamboo shoots!!!! Morning filter coffee or tea, your choice! Sweet and slightly salted homemade cookies on the side!! Wow! Life is to be enjoyed this way! Total relaxation!! One morning, my brother's glasses needed repair - the staff came to the rescue. They were so attentive that they arranged to send it to an optician to have it fixed! That is service, over and beyond! Our driver accompanied us to the resort, and he was treated very well. He was talking about the great food and the accommodations. Specifically, he said that this was the best that he had ever experienced. For this class act, I am very grateful. I'm glad that he was treated no different than us. Thank you, Jungle Hut owners and staff! You folks are great! A belated review, I agree, after so many visits! They say that the proof of the pudding is in the eating! So, .... we have reservations to visit Jungle Hut again - 3 couples this time - during January-February 2025. We are looking forward to it, to enjoy the customer-focussed service that the staff specializes in! The courtesy, the hospitality, the service, the environment, the scenery, the food, ........Can't wait!! Sorry for this choppy write-up; I just didn't want to delay posting this review any further!!!!!!

I liked the planet friendly touches everywhere. As a Sc and Env journo that made the most impact! The food too was delicious with a great range of pickles! The Mgr was so friendly and came out of his way to be welcoming! Loved how the little sparrows came into the dining area gor scraps.
