Nature Trails Kundalika, Kolad

An excellent stay with picturesque river views and delicious food! the tranquil setting combined with the flavorful meals made for a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking relaxation and culinary delights"

Good according to budget, dining area needs to be modified, i can understand that it’s connected to nature but than too it needs to be modified, rest hotel is neat and tidy.

Property located at a good location and good activities but quality of stay is poor. The tents quality is very poor and not maintained the staff is courteous and supportive

It was family vacation and it went exceptionally well. ***** with adventurous activities this property offers you good food and staff is very curteous.

Anyone can see anytime from the outside tent. We faced a horrible experience.

We were a group of 15 Adults & 2 Children and stayed for 1N at the Sterling Nature Trails at Kundalika Kolad resort recently. a) Location - It is located in the Kamath village at Kolad and one will need assistance of the Google Maps to reach to this secluded resort (located in the lap of nature). The roads are in good condition except the last 500 Meters which is undeveloped / not maintained. There is ample parking space available at the property. It is must to have your own vehicle since public transport will not be immediately / easily available. b) Rooms - We stayed at the Regular AC tent which accomodates 4 people (one double bed & two single beds). The tents are in okay condition but clean. The bathrooms were clean as well; there no toiletries provided except 3 small bars of soap. Four (4) bottles of mineral water of 500 ml each were placed at the time of checking-in. A jug of water is placed outside the tents (1 for 4 tents) for refilling the water bottles. The window ACs were working fine. However, as mentioned by several other reviewers, the rooms are dimly lit & hence, enjoying cards or board games at night becomes difficult. c) Food - We paid for full board and the buffet lunch, dinner & breakfast served is good. They arrange for hi-tea and snacks like Onion Pakoda, Potato fries for extra charges. Vaibhav helped us by arranging ice-creams (at extra cost) after dinner. The restaurant staff is helpful and caters to our requests in their best possible ways. Please be considerate that there are limited resources available at the property and hence, unrealistic requests may not be fulfilled. The taste & quality of the food is above average but definitely worth the money that we spent on the package. The restaurant is open from all sides and has a shed and because of the location amidst greenery / forest area, there are flying insects at night which may disturb your peaceful dinner. The restaurant premise and utensils are maintained in clean conditions. Requesting the management to upgrade the handwash area. d) Activities - We were offered complimentary activities - Zip-Line, Burma Bridge, Tarzan Swing, Kayaking and a treasure hunt game in the evening - which are all well guided and supervised by their team. Manoj, Manohar and their team gave detailed instructions before every activity and are very friendly. e) Other important points - There are no TVs or WiFi in the room which may make your stay boring unless you are a group of people. This is an ideal place for picnic when you are in a group (families, friends or office colleagues). Only couples or single nuclear families may avoid this unless you want to travel this far only to be all alone by yourself without access to TV or mobile or internet or outside world. This place is far from the river rafting start point but the transportation for rafting is arranged by the resort at extra costs. The staff at the resort is friendly and Rishikesh was in regular touch by sharing location, pr

Although we visited in summer (Apr23) but still weather was not so humid due to property in amidst  jungle.  Activity- Kayaking and water rafting are good. Kayaking organised by resort as resort is near to river. Water rafting is through third party and start point for rafting is 20 km from resort. Room- one will find lot of  negative reviews for regular AC tent. But we stayed there in summer and it was completely value for money. It has window AC so might take 20-25 minutes in cooling entire room. As I said in all value for money. Food- very limited variety, below average quality. For short stay of a day it could be fine but for long stay of 2-3 days people will find it not challenging. Lot of people complaining that they charge heavy for water bottle. One can use RO water cooler, so no problem of water. Yes if you need bottle water then it could cost a bit as property is not surrounded with market/city.

The place is very neat and the staffs are very courteous. We stayed in premium ac tent and it is worth what we paid. Kudos!

staying at sterling nature trails, kundalika, kolad is not value for money. I can see nets and dust all over the corner. Rooms were flooded because of the rain and interiors are very poor with broken tiles and flush not working. Very very basic food as if i am eating in an office or hostel canteen and not in a resort or hotel. Overall not an ideal choice for the stay. Although they have helped me in early check-in and finding and auto towards the start point and end point of river rafting.
