Whether you’re a tired city soul or a curious traveler, here are five reasons why this offbeat retreat in Kankumbi, Karnataka is truly a hidden gem.
1. The Location: Where Forests Whisper
Set amidst a 37-acre expanse in the bio-diverse region of Kankumbi, Shatavari is surrounded by misty forests, natural water bodies, and wildlife. Just a short drive from Belgaum, it feels like a world away from urban chaos.
2. Sustainable Stays, Naturally Designed
Each cottage at Shatavari—from the Cave to the Ridge and Farm cottages—is thoughtfully designed with natural materials, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. Think stone walls, wooden furnishings, and sweeping jungle views from your private veranda.
3. Organic Farming at Its Best
You won’t just eat farm-to-table—you’ll walk the farm. The resort grows organic fruits, vegetables, and rice on-site. Guests are invited to explore, harvest, and learn, making your stay both delicious and meaningful.
4. The Dining Shidori: A Culinary Celebration
Their open-air restaurant, Shidori, offers a delightful mix of Indian, Malvani, Goan, and Continental cuisine—all served with fresh ingredients grown on the land. Dining here is as soulful as the setting.
5. True Peace, Real Connection
Shatavari isn’t about WiFi speeds or room service—it’s about slow mornings, misty treks, and deep breaths. Whether you’re watching the sunrise from a hilltop or sharing stories by the bonfire, every moment feels intentional.
