We had a peaceful Diwali of 2013 at Bakula.Especially the bath in the Kalave river and early morning walks in the forest. The Vasu-Baras puja is something which we will remember for a long time to come. The accomodation was basic but clean and the vegeterian food was to our liking. Bakula is the perfect place to have as a base camp to explore the wonderful region around. Route maps drawn by Mr. Hegde helped us to navigate on quite confusing forest routes. We are looking forward to be back in Bakula soon with nature loving friends and family.

A beautiful place in middle of nature. Peaceful, quiet and also friendly staff. We would recommend this a best place for family weekend outing, no need to have second thought of the hospitality food and facilities. We a group of 5 family been there on the weekend (13, 14th April 2013). The food was awesome; cottages were clean and spacious, Though it was summer, the stream in the backyard was beautiful and was a good place for kids to play in water.

I visited this place as advised by one of my doctor friend from Haveri (Dr Rohan Kamat)between 23rd to 27 of this month (Jan 2013). I find this place as most exotic, close to nature with best hospitality and food. The owner Mr. Hegde is really a Gentleman with his Keen interests in well-being of his guests. I highly recommend this place for a Family stay without second thought. one suggestion i would give to any person going to this resort is never go for sight seeing because this place is really worth enjoying and relaxing for a week long.

We a group of 10 had a 3 day stay at Bakula Homestay in the month of December. The weather was pleasant and so was our experience. The spacious rooms were clean and comfortable. The sumptuous local food was simple yet tasty.The caretakers were efficient and Mr.Hegde was truly helpful.Communication with the caretakers was a challenge because they spoke and understood only Kannada.We enjoyed every moment of our stay in the peaceful and pure environment. I would love to visit it again, but not before I learn a little bit of Kannada.

Was here with friends for some peaceful time away from d city, had a great time. The service they provide is brilliant. Advice you to ask them for their ‘home made’ food, its too good. The stay was worth every penny. You are totally isolated from d city, there’s hardly any phone coverage :/ you can do anything you want here n they provide u with almost everything 😉

Four of us stayed in this home stay last weekend and we simply loved it. The hospitality of the care taker and owner Mr Hegde was extra ordinary. The Havyaka Brahmin food served was delicious and totally different to what you get in other parts of karnataka. The river in the backyard was in full flow and was a sight to behold. The cottages were clean and spacious and we loved every minute of our stay. I will definitely visit this place again.

We are a team of 21 members from Molex Bangalore stayed for one day in all the five cottages. The home stay surrounded by greenery and areca nut plants and the stream flowing in between is superb. We had our breakfast near the stream and great dinner with campfire in the home stay premises was memorable. The facilitates, hospitality provided by Mr. B G Hegde was amazing as he is always telling that to think home stay like our next home and from my experience I can say whoever wants to enjoy the nature within Karnataka, they must go to Bakula Home stay. A special thanks to Manju & family for fulfilling our needs during the stay One more thing I need to mention here is the guidance provided by Mr. B G Hegde was incredible. He told us to call any time if we struck anywhere during our place visiting and we called many times for route, food etc and he was so kind in answering and also arranged lunch in the Manjuguni temple. So friends, you might have visited many home stays but visiting Bakula is a very different experience.

Hi, Ours was a TEAM OUTING from organisation and we started thinking it is just another place away from home. But at BAKULA HOME STAY we felt STAY at our very HOME,never away from home. Thanks to Mr. B G Hedge who like an elderly person of any loveful family, took care of our food/stay ontime, also was there always to guide to the sight seeing with caution not to get into water in CHUNCHALLI FALLS and so. HIGHLIGHT- Breakfast/Lunch in the stream running in the property. FRIENDS, just BE THERE..
