Background on the Structures:
They are Nut and Bolt steel structures clad in wood, designed to withstand earthquakes and wind speeds of up to 200 Kmph. The foundations go down to the hard rock and the highest point [the crow’s nest] is 85 ft. from the ground. No machines were used in its erection nor were any trees cut or damaged in the process. The structure was designed to be one with nature and was constructed with that in mind.
It has four levels – i] The Main Deck ii] The Hanging Room iii] The Loft iv] The Crow’s nest.
The main deck [18 ft. x 45 ft.] is entirely encapsulated in glass and provides unimpeded spectacular views of the valley. Devoid of standard brick and concrete walls, it instils a feeling of being in the great outdoors while continuing to enjoy the comforts of modern amenities. The main deck comprises of a large lounge area, a dining table for six and a screened double bed. Extending from the deck are two balconies, one facing east and other towards the north. There are also two full western bathrooms with rain showers and the master is equipped with a bath tub. This level houses the entrance veranda and kitchenette as well.
A spiral staircase guides one down to the hanging room [12ft. x 20ft.] which is suspended from the main deck. With three sides of the room comprising of glass walls, lying on its double bed one gets the feeling of being submerged within the forest canopy.
A short flight of stairs, from the main deck, lead up to the loft. An east facing small room with a huge view – a mountain peak towards the south and a deep valley to its north. You can watch the sun and moon rise from the comfort of its double bed.
The crow’s nest, is a further 40 ft. above the main deck. It is certainly worth the climb to get to the top of this structure for a 360 degree aerial view of Jambulne and its surrounding areas. The nest also makes for a great sit out to lounge in at night, under a blanket of never-ending stars.
Electricity is generated through our wind and solar farm and pure mountain water is pumped from our 300ft. deep bore, for your consumption.

Things to do: As far as activities go, traditionally our guests engage in nature oriented activities such as trekking, bird watching, stargazing etc. Trekking in the forest along 5 km of private paths you may spot barking deer, rabbits and a plethora of interesting birds. The entire 25 acre property is fenced in so you can trek without interruption and in complete safety. If you’d like guided treks can also be arranged. That being said we also have two mountain bikes, four badminton racquets and a football at your disposal. Once you’ve withdrawn into the shelter of The Machan you can also use the carom board or the playing cards that are available. Also, on a clear night star gazing is an interesting option.
