Save to favouritesPrintMailHermitage GuesthouseIf you want to get away from Goa's frenetic beaches and explore the lush forests and rich wildlife of the interior, this is a real sanctuary. An eco lodge, wrapped in jungle and set at 720m in the picturesque Western Ghat hills (just across the border into Karnataka), it's heaven for twitchers and butterfly-watchers, good fun for older kids and ideal for folk seeking a relaxing nature break, without forsaking too many creature comforts. An Indian family whose members are all passionate about ecology and wildlife are your hosts. David leads treks into the jungle, jeep rides to swim in waterfalls, night walks to discover wildlife and hikes to local villages, whilst wife Morvarid tickles tastebuds with her south Indian fusion cuisine. Daughter Katrina - a trained entymologist - is on hand, too, to chat about local wildlife. The guesthouse is also a working farm, growing chikko, turmeric, bananas and coffee. Around the grounds are 3 simple [r:IS041:cottages] made of wood, bamboo and thatch (one of which is raised up on stilts), each with an open-air bathroom alongside. If you're lucky, you'll see monkeys swinging through the trees above as you shower. A perfect haven to give you a slice of authentic Indian life without taking a vow of silence.
