What a beautiful place Biju! Shooting here would be a totally different experience altogether! I.e. if some one can take his eyes off the scenery.

Great pics Biju. You guys are really lucky to have such a scenic range. Just curious as to how they let you take pics though.

True, yash3_great & Indian it is a beautiful place to be and they are the one hosting this year’s National.

Just curious as to how they let you take pics though.

Prabhath, It is rather friendlier atmosphere here, no such restrictions.
They do have some 8 rooms including couple of suite rooms, a good Restaurant with room service and an A/c. Conference Hall. If I'm not wrong couple film shoot also happened here.
