Our Story in the Heart of Nature – From a simple dream to a serene retreat
Ikshana Cottages was born from a dream to create a sanctuary where comfort meets wilderness. Set in the tranquil village of Jarkuni near Kalasa, our journey began with a simple vision—to share the unmatched beauty of the Western Ghats with travelers seeking both peace and adventure.
From our first A-frame cottages to welcoming families, couples, and explorers from across the world, every step of our growth has been guided by a love for nature and authentic Malnad hospitality. Today, Ikshana stands as more than a stay—it’s an experience of living amidst mist, waterfalls, and forests.
