Terms & Conditions
അപ്പോൾ പറഞ്ഞു വന്നത്…
- Our property is situated inside the forest and the roads are soft offroad. You can drive if you have SUV or 4×4 vehicle. Or you can keep your vehicles in the designated place(https://goo.gl/maps/qHiU4yevdEoz7zRP9), and you will be picked up from there in a Jeep/Thar to go further inside the forest (Extra cost).
- This is not a luxury trip. This is an activity involving a trip (forest view, off-road drive, river, nature walk, jeep safari, fish catch, campfire, BBQ) Let’s behave appropriately.
- You can also expect to have small insects and animals which are completely harmless to give you company.
- How Many People Can Stay(Maximum): Check here to know the limits in each room Our recommendation is between 10-12 pax if you select a full property, but the rest is based on your fun and coordination capacity.
Payments
- Transfer minimum 50% of the total payment to +91-8804888846(Google pay) or elaforeststay@okhdfcbank (UPI id) in advance to book the room. Please make 100% of the total payment before check-in in the room. The caretaker will ask for the receipt of payments to enter into books. You may experience payment failure while transferring the payments due to low internet in some networks, so try to send the payment along with web check-in (before entering the forest).
Power & Network
- We may face power failures/frequent power fluctuations when there are rain and wind since it’s a single-phase line that is coming through the forest. We have power backups like inverters and generators. But don’t expect 100% working of all the lights and functionalities of equipment if there is no power/wind/rain. Still, if it’s running for more than the expected time let’s enjoy it.
- Airtel has less network coverage. We are happy to share our Jio 4G wifi password. But limited to 25GB/per day
-
Care taker
- Call the caretaker (+91 8589990333) for any kind of assistance/guidance. The caretaker will leave the property at 9-10 pm. But he will be available on call.
- We believe that ‘Self Service’ is the best way to feel privacy. We have only one caretaker to support you so expect the delay if multiple tasks are there.
