Garden Valley Resort

Spread across an area of 5 acres covering a hillside, the Nighlaat Village Resort is flanked by a stream on one end and the state highway on the other. An eco-friendly resort, it aims at providing a completely natural yet luxurious holidaying experience to its guests.

Besides painting a pretty picture and providing a delightfully natural experience, the resort has been designed to provide its guests with the best modern comforts that the times have to offer. A 50-year-old village house constructed with wooden floors and ceilings & stone masonry, it has been restored to meet the modern standards of living, while retaining its age-old charm.

Hotel Facility Even though every moment spent at this resort is rejuvenating, for those looking for activity, there are open spaces for long walks and trekking besides the natural stream, of course. One can lounge in the natural pools that are created by huge boulders that lie on the river bed. The resort owners might allow you to fish in the stream but only on one condition - you must release the fish back into the water! Very conscious of maintaining an ecological balance, the resort authorities discourage any form of harm to the environment, be it killing animals or littering the resort premises and the stream. The resort has another delightful surprise for the kids in the form of the two ponies. Although you can admire them and maybe, feed them, please refrain from requesting for pony rides.
