There will be a mini garden near each cottage. The cottage has been designed in such a way that one can sit here and watch the clear water from a distance. Sitting in the balcony, the tourists can watch the rare species of birds, water and dense jungle. Mainly deer, wild boar, leopard and other wild animals roam around this area of the jungle. Sagoun wood has been used to construct the cottage. landscaping work has been done in the premises and sandstone has been used on the floor.
