We had a wonderful time spent during the team outing in 'Guhantara' ,(ಗುಹಾಂತರ) an India's first cave resorts. Guhantara

It was some thing different and I can express it as, Guhantara, in the heart  of the cave as it literally mean, you find yourself in midst of an exhilarating luxury resort. Better to explain in like, Call on the spirit of adventure and take a plunge into the past spanning epochs and water falls in the history of civilization and their delves of past episodes of man's life. Plan out your small trips on weekends, it might be a good brushup of nature to see. As you get inside you will see an wood carving of animals on it. It seemed wonderful to me as we move around a single wood with different faces of animals carved on it made me to start photography. A small highlights to give you all...

  •   A beautiful 'driftwood' made of concrete, at the beginning of the resort, in the shape of 30 animals and birds, made by village artisans.
  •   A 300 -foot underground corridor to enter the cave resort.
  •   "ರಂಗ ಮಂಟಪ" in Kannada, Rangamandapa, a semi open-air auditorium or multi-purpose hall that can house 700 people at a time. There is a beautiful waterfall with a "ಕುಸಿತ" in Kannada, 'Kausita' or swimming pool that extends beyond.
  •   "ಸಂಭೋಜನ" in Kannada, Sambhojana, the multicuisine restaurant that caters to every taste.
  •   "ಸಂವಾದ" in Kannada, Samvaada is the 70-seater conference room that, despite being equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, smells of the old-stone-world charm with the sound of trickling water. 
  •   "ಮಧುಶಾಲ" in Kannada, Madhushala is the discreetly tucked away bar.
  •   Concrete is plastered with mud to form the ceiling,  the top of which is covered with massive outdoor gardens and recreational area called the "ಪೂರಕ" in Kannada, Pauraka.  
  • Natural skylights dot the entire resort, which is amazing..
  • The beautifully landscaped lawns on the ground above, are a cynosure for the sore city eyes.
