Please do treat our home as you would your own.
Sadly, we are not yet set-up to invite pets to stay.

Before you get here, you should also know...
The last 250 metres of access to the villa is via an unpaved road. Slush can be expected through the monsoons.
The home is WiFi enabled, however, dependent on local operators. Please bring back up if critical.
Jio & Airtel seem to work better on our property.
There are 2 dogs on the property that were rescued as puppies, now fully grown, and in their own enclosed area. They will not be in the areas where guests are. We advise against interacting with them - though loving to their caretakers, they have had limited interaction with others, and we prefer no risk be taken in our absence.
