Jenkal- A bungalow and coffee
He took out his small tractor and invited us for a joy ride. What a bumpy ride it was! It was an experience in itself and we were thrilled like kids. We were taken to a lagoon sort of water body deep inside his property. In the quiet of the forest you could hear the murmuring of water and spent some time over there splashing around a bit.

Kemmangundi – A misty experience
Z-point is about 8 kms from the guest house. You can take your vehicle upto Shanti Falls, which is 2 odd kms from the guest house. The rest of the journey to the Z-point has to be covered by foot.
