There are some places I visit that become very close to my heart. Not just because of their aesthetic beauty, but that combined with the warmth and love of the hosts. Such places become more than a beautiful stay experience, they become home in another land.
One such place I recently experienced, is a small cottage retreat in Chikmagalur, far away from the main town, nestled deep amidst the beauty and serenity of a lush coffee plantation.
I arrived at Chikmagalur bus stop after a 4.5 hour, super comfortable bus ride from Bangalore. I was felicitated by a smiling man, Raghu, my driver and guide in Chikmagalur for the next few days. We drove past lush coffee estates, ginger and potato fields and arrived at what I consider one of the most beautiful and luxurious properties I have ever come across during my 3 years of traveling through the country. Welcome to a gorgeous villa retreat in Chikmagalur! An exquisite space designed to meet the needs of the discerning luxury traveller in India.
Hi Wanderers! Welcome to The Wanderbug, my life project with one sole purpose - to discover and share India's best kept secrets! Since the young age of 4, I have been travelling through India, first with my adventurous mother and sister, and then on my own for the last decade.
I always knew that a desk job would not fulfil me and I needed to keep wandering and helping others wander. With this motivation in mind, I started The Wanderbug in 2013, and since then have planned over 300 journeys for travellers seeking to explore the magic of India.
I currently live in Goa & Himachal and keep moving homes every few years to experience a new way of life. I am constantly on the move, exploring different parts of India and my office is wherever I am - sometimes on treetops in the jungle, sometimes by the beach and sometimes in my sweet little homes :)
