Vayu is a personal family home and not a hotel. It is meant only for people who want a quiet and slow holiday amidst nature.
The walk to Vayu Retreat is about 500 steps from where cars are parked. It is a scenic walk through a forest road.
We have 7 dogs of our own and they make us who we are. They are a part of our family and are usually very happy to see guests who give them affection.
Bonfire/ Sigdi can be set-up at an additional cost.
The home has a genset. Diesel for its operation will be charged as per actuals. For normal power-back up, we have an inverter.
Breakfast can be served on The Deck at an additional charge.
