What customers are saying:

Testimonal

  • The staff is extremely courteous, they go out of way to make your stay pleasurable. Waking up to the sounds of birds in the morning at wooden cottage is something that must be experienced.
  • Old magazine house isn't called a birders paradise for nothing, it’s probably the only place where you get rare birds as commoners in one place and almost 90percent chances of sighting very rare birds like Malabar trogon, taiga flycatcher, great hornbill etc. The stay is just exceptional and as usual very friendly staff and amazing food. Overall a must-visit place.
  • Excellent is a small word to describe this place. Everything was so perfect. Location, people working there, climate, etc. Very easy to reach from Mumbai by Train, this place is a must-visit for bird lovers. The hospitality and ambiance is top-notch. Usually for wildlife photographers need to adjust to whatever is available as the places are in a remote location but this was an exception.
  • One of the best places for bird watching, extensive arrangements such as a ‘hide’ and puddles for birds to bathe is available. The staff is polite and they have extensive knowledge about birds.
  • Excellent infrastructure. Ample scope for Bird Photography. Very helpful and polite staff.
