I along with my family and my friends' family were here for a weekend trip. What I loved the most about it was the greenery and cool ambience around. Since there were kids, we preferred to have the cottages. It was not just a stay but many activities together made the trip so unforgettable. We did trekking and sightseeing. My kids were thrilled to get such a memorable experience. In the evening, we did bonfire and played songs. All of us really enjoyed everything to the core. The hosts were simple and very lovely. Thank you, guys.
