In the shade of the old Umbar tree Slide into a hammock under the Umbar tree and get introduced to the whole new concept of ‘Horizontal Bird Watching’. You may spot barbets, leaf warblers, spider hunters, tailor birds, orioles and others. | Shady Pavilion A few paces from the bustle of the house, this area is buzzing with energy all day and all night. Close your eyes and feel nature’s breath During summer it becomes the tenting zone. |
Grassy Sit-outs There are many quiet spots to just sit and relax in the garden - just outside the lake front rooms, under the Umbar tree, near the Lotus pond, closer to the lake. You could also take a walk through the lush greenery and find your own spot too! |
Sun Deck A 2 tiered bench in this paved area located right outside the kitchen makes a great place to have a cup of tea and a chat. Basil, clematis and other plantings add a fragrant touch to the atmosphere. |
Cricket Field (Playground) This rectangular patch of land has hosted many an exciting match, including India and Nepal v/s Sri Lanka and India v/s England matches. This is also where the bonfire is lit at night. |
Tropical Fruit Garden Mango, jackfruit, cashew-nut, kokam, lemon, chickoo, drumstick, pomegranate, guava, love apple, cinnamon… Wander about this little grove and discover for yourself. Resist the urge to pluck fruits. |
Entrance Steps Flowing through a stepped garden of lush tropical planting this area is great to watch birds in the early mornings and evenings. Sit here with a cup of tea and watch sunbirds, magpie robins, bulbuls at work and at play. |
Reflecting Pond Set in lush greenery this beautiful little pool with a hydro therapy pebble walk and lounging area all around invites you to activate your pressure points or sit about and be a part of this spiritual space. |
Sand Pit stone encircles river sand … encircles a tree. Lounge about this Zen garden space in meditative silence alone or with friends. Take your sandals off, sink your feet into the sand and let your thoughts idle. Sink a little deeper and resume your silent contemplation. |
Hammocks In the land of insomniacs, nappers will always be under suspicion. However, in Latin countries people who don’t nap are considered odd. In Italy, Spain, south of France and Native Place, siesta is a sacred, post lunch ritual observed by all, except tourists. |
Serenity Bench This quaint earthy china mosaic seat and its accompanying lily pond is great when you have company, but it’s also an amazing place to tune into the birdsong and watch dragonflies inflight. |
Bamboo Creak Bench Yet another garden seat tucked away behind the palash tree. Sit quietly here and hear the primeaval sound of bamboo creaking and leaves rustling. |
