A Weekend Getaway: Villa Urvinkhan, Chikmagalur

Villa Urvinkhan, located in the Western Ghats of Chikmagalur, is where luxury meets the warmth of a home. The name Urvinkhan literally translates to “Dense Forest” as coffee plantations and lush greenery surround it.

It’s the perfect destination for whoever wants to take a break from the city life, and is seeking some fresh air, nature, hikes, or just a relaxed day by the homestay’s infinity pool. Yes, you read it correctly – an infinity pool in the middle of a plantation!
