Details
We invite you to Hunkal Woods Retreat. (It’s Hunk- kl, not Uncle, mind it!). An exclusive, outdoor mountain adventure camp nestled deep in the woods and high up the tallest Western Ghats of South India. With the clouds below and the land above, we at Hunkal Woods Resort promise to turn your world upside down.
The Past
First up, our host mountains. They reek of mystery and history, and you really have to be intrepid on foot to get to know them. Sometime in the 1800’s, British fortitude built a classic Bungalow amidst secluded terrain and dangerous forests to cultivate coffee.
Much of the seclusion and thrill remains in every step as you explore over 400 acres of largely unexplored Shola forest mountain slopes located in the Western Ghats around Chikmagalur. And all this, while you stay at the same heritage base camp.

The HunkalWoods Camp has 2 types of Accommodation.
The Classic British Bungalow, with 4 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2 living rooms, a TT area and a dorm room (sleeps 5) Best for groups above 6 – upto 18

To Chill
In Hunkal Hammocks lie, hear birds sing, watch them fly. Spend a view filled, book reading, music listening afternoon, Or by a crackling bonfire, gaze at countless stars and a dazzling moon. Limber up with frisbee, Table Tennis or a board game, take an estate tour, sip on coffee of Hunkal fame!
Breakfast by a babbling brook, unwind in a forest nook High up in the Machan by night or by day, looking down at natures bountiful play Oh yes, at Hunkal Woods, the young and old can chill, where nothing disturbs and time stands still!
To Thrill
At Hunkal Woods there’s a thrill at every turn, shola grassland and mountains to conquer, fears to unlearn Midnight walks to the forest line, a tingling sense of spooky but trust us, it’s fine!
Storms, streams and slippery slopes, stunning landscapes, where deer roam and a tiger lopes Pitch a tent or stay in the machan to brave the night With cricket or football, let sporting spirit take flight. You may nurse a scratch, sprain or fleeting mental strife But do a Hunkal Woods Adventure, its worth it for life!
Over the years guests to Hunkal Woods have flocked in all expectations and sizes. From boisterous school groups to bedecked newly weds. Family reunions making the most to friends raising a toast.

Location was good. Food was good. Staff was courteous. And we enjoyed the coffee. Functioning of UPS should be without or minimal human intervention. Overall stay was good.
