1. Jims Jungle Retreat, Corbett

Jims Jungle Retreat
“A resort with a perfect blend of luxury and nature. It was a great experience staying in this resort for three days. Staff was very helpful and friendly and they make great efforts to maintain the beauty of the place. I have to mention Mrs Rati, the manager who gave us a friendly welcome and made us to feel at home. She arranged a candle light dinner for us! Experienced great hospitality! I highly recommend this resort and sanctuary to eco-lovers.”

2. Wild Mahseer, Assam

 “The resort is a perfect place to relax and be pampered between forays. The property offers breathtaking pristine scenery. It is an organic property. The main attraction of the property is the heritage bungalow replete with collectibles from ancient times."
3. The Dune, Puducherry

 “There are 10 cottages sprawled over 30 acres. Each cottage is distinctive and imaginatively designed - a pop art cottage with a 70s psychedelic theme, a Nawabi house with rich zaris everywhere, a Syrian Christian house full of wood, a mud house made of, well, what else - mud, a simple beach shack. The bathrooms in all the cottages too were fabulous, many of them open to the sky, quirky and fun to use. Best of all - this is an environment-friendly property depending on solar energy and recycled waste water.”
4. The Sarai At Toria, Panna

Get a pulse of the rustic. This property offers mud cottages with thatched roofs and still manages to create an aura of luxury. Experience luxury in small unexpected ways - the Indo-western design aesthetic - a personal touch by the host. Watch the magnificent sunset over the plateau of Panna Tiger Reserve.

5. The Machan, Lonavala

“The tree houses are spacious and tastefully done. The view from the decks is amazing and you can gaze at the moon and at the stars at night. A little away from the city, this place is for those who want to spend quality time in tranquillity. The dining space is exceptionally beautiful by the fireplace. They have a small pond near the reception area, which is dry during summer. Cycles are provided to help move around the property. It is one of the best eco-friendly resorts,

6. Brunton Boatyard, Kochi


“Another great hotel from CGH Earth Group. “We stayed 2 nights in Brunton Boatyard. The property is well maintained. The rooms facing the harbour are simply super. It was a lovely experience in mornings with a cup of coffee on our balcony and watching the harbour." 

7. Mary Budden Cottage, Binsar

No television or an elaborate dinning menu. Instead, experience bukharis that provide warmth on nippy evenings, witness the hotel's rainwater harvesting system and a garden bursting with fresh organic produce. However, you do not have to compromise on luxury. 

8. Coconut Lagoon, Kumarakom


 “Fantastic location on the lakeside. After coming to Kumarakom by car, we got down at a small private boathouse and taken to the resort by boat. The welcome was nice, with classical music and flowers. The property is verdant green and is a joy to behold. Cottages are scattered throughout the property. Food was excellent, with lot of traditional Kerala fish. Sunset boating in the lake was also a highlight. A small butterfly garden is also present in the resort. Just walking through the resort was a pleasure.”

9. Kaama Kethna Ecological Village, Canacona, Goa


“I went to Kemaa Katha Ecological Village at Goa. It's a spectacular resort where I enjoyed my life with furious waves of sea. It’s totally amazing place and I like it want to visit twice in a year. Rooms were clean and nice bedroom, front desk was helpful and environment inside the hotel was great. I will recommend this hotel to other travellers.”

10. Mountain Trail, Mukteshwar


“It was like a decorative resort. The location of the hotel was good. The staff of the hotel was very good and well behaved. The food provided was very good. The room provided was good and clean. There was no delay in check-in and check-out. There was no activities, but some small games was provided. Overall, the hotel was good and value for money. I would like to recommend it to other travellers.”
