How to reach the property
Written by the host, walked and confirmed by our verifier.
From the Bus Stand, take the Mudigere road (NH-73) heading west. At Mugthihalli, around 13 km, turn left at the old milk dairy and follow the mud road 1 km to the Malnad house at the very end. There's no mobile signal past the dairy — if you're lost, call from the gate landline.
Know before you go
The practical truths booking sites rarely tell you.
- Tell people you'll be unreachable — BSNL sometimes catches at the gate.
- Landline available for emergencies.
- Meals are fixed-menu Malnad home food. Tell the host about allergies in advance.
- Carry a torch; the estate path has no lights after 7 PM.
- Board games and a small library in the verandah.
