22 back to nature caba nas,
no two alike, fashioned from local
materials like rice straw, bamboo
and mud. An eco friendly compost
toilet accompanies each cabana.
Built to include trees, leaves and
the star spangled skies the living
areas combine a rural feel with a
surprising degree of comfort for an
alternative resort.
How to Use the Resource:
Bhakti Kutir allows guests to make
their own choices in a completely
informal non-commercial community
environment. It is not a puritanical
ashram. Its mainly vegetarian
restaurant also serves fresh sea
food, wine and tribal liquors.
Guests can effortlessly participate
in the night life on Palolem beach
and yet retire to a world of
complete quiet, security and privacy
when they so desire. It offers a
wide, even if somewhat
unpredictable, range of healing
programmes and guests themselves can
conduct works hops
for other visitors at the drop of a
hat if they have the skills and
inclination. The Kutir offers a very
spontaneous social space and its
restaurant is an excellent zone to
meet interesting creative and
holistic professionals from
different parts of the globe. From
time to time cultural programmes
animate its amphitheatre. For
parents its child friendly nature is
a big bonus. Kids can attend an
informal school or just make
themselves at home. Baby sitters are
available. Short trips to wild life
reserves ; heritage towns and homes;
spice gardens; little known islands,
mountain lodges and holistic healing
centers are all easily undertaken
from Bhakti Kutir. Even a short stay
may help connect visitors with a
network of holistic resorts in the
region.
