"A mud haven - India's only "earth" resort and possibly the largest of
its kind in Asia - nestling in 35 acres of greenery stacked with pepper,
coffee and tea plantations and ponds. The 20,000 sq ft two-storey
structure in the Banasura hills is made entirely out of mud with bamboo
and coconut palm leaf roofs: a paean to Mother Earth."
