Local Assessment

Our Property Here

The right hotel in India.

Kerala & South India

CGH Earth

A hotel group that understands southern India is meant to be experienced in depth: the most considered way to move through Kerala and its neighbouring regions.

Best season October to March, outside the monsoon. November to February is the quietest and most comfortable period for Kerala.

Shillim, Pune District

Dharana at Shillim

Dharana at Shillim is not a wellness hotel that happens to be in the mountains: the Sahyadri landscape is the programme. An Ayurveda and yoga retreat anchored in a natural setting that is rare in India.

Best season October to March. The monsoon (June to September) brings intense rainfall and a dramatic landscape, compelling for nature-oriented guests but climatically demanding.

Samode, Jaipur & Ranthambore

Samode Hotels

Four properties under one family: the most coherent way to experience Rajasthan without losing the thread between places.

Best season October to February: dry heat, clear light, comfortable daytime temperatures. For tiger sightings in Ranthambore, October to April: late season brings the best chances.

Nelamangala, near Bangalore

Shreyas Retreat

Twelve cottages on 25 acres at the edge of Bangalore: an AYUSH-certified Ayurveda hospital that wraps five-star hospitality around genuine medical depth.

Best season October to March: comfortable temperatures in Karnataka, no monsoon rain, the quietest atmosphere on the estate.
