My wife and I created this space to share our deep love for the forest. These wildernesses have profoundly touched and transformed us, and we believe they hold the same transformative power for others who engage with and respect them. We see education as the first step toward conservation, and by staying with us, you can explore, learn about, and connect with these forests in a meaningful way. We warmly welcome you with gratitude and look forward to sharing this magical experience with you.

Far from human habitation and deep within the wraps of forest smells, sounds and freshness lay the cottages of Kalinga Mane. These breathing spaces cater to the beautiful sights of rainforest wilderness from the comforts of cosy beds, hot water showers, and sumptuous healthy food and beverages. Join our naturalists for herping, night walks, stream walks(swimming), mountain treks, and wildlife photography. This environmental education centre is as much a learning space as it is a relaxing sojourn.
