This was our first night in India Meena was fantastic! - the stay itself was a pleasure and the rooms were clean. Meena is a great cook and we enjoyed chatting about India, politics and life in general. Meena helped us have an amazing second leg our holidays by arranging our car (with a perfect driver) and a house boat... More

We (a couple) stayed two nights at Villa Prakriti. We were hiking / rafting at the national park all day, so we did not have time to enjoy the garden, the terrace and the flowers as we would have liked to do. I wish we could have stayed longer to spend time on the roof terrace and to learn some... More

We stayed at Villa Prakriti in december 2010 for 3 days and it was a fantastic experience. The owner, Meena, is an excellent host and helps you when ever she can. Above that she has a lot of good contacts with good taxidrivers (who drive slowly) and knows everything you need to visit the region. She helped us book several... More

We spent four nights at Villa Prakriti and loved it. Meena and Bibi are fabulous hosts - the highlight was our new year with them. They are genuinely interested in their guests and have a wealth of local knowledge to share. They really went to a lot of trouble to make us feel welcome and ensure our stay in Kumily... More
