Deluxe Double
Room 103 · Rose
A quiet corner room with a deep rose feature wall, a wide double bed and a dressing counter set into the wardrobe. The bathroom is finished in green patterned tile with an overhead shower.
Indavara Paradise sits on Mallandur Road, where the estates begin to climb towards Mullayanagiri. New rooms, a hall built for celebrations, and a kitchen and bar downstairs — ten minutes from town, and on the right side of it for the hills.
The building is hard to miss — a glass front catching the afternoon light, a tiled portico, and a garden of palms and flowering shrubs between the road and the door. Behind it there is room to park, whether you have arrived in a car from Bengaluru or on a bike from town.
Inside, the rooms are new and kept spotless. Wide beds with fresh white cotton, a wall-mounted television, a wardrobe with a dressing mirror, a desk if you need one, and an attached bathroom finished in patterned tile with hot water through the day. Most rooms open on to a balcony or a glass-walled sit-out where you can put your feet up with a coffee.
Mallandur Road is the road to the mountains — guests come for a night before the trek and stay a second for the drive.Browse the rooms

Deluxe Double with Balcony
Indigo tile-effect wall, a small table and chair by the bed, and a balcony with room for two to sit out with a coffee in the evening.
Family Room with Sit-out
The family room: a double bed and a separate single, so three can sleep comfortably. Its own glass-walled sit-out with a table and chairs looks straight out into the trees.
Nothing fancy. Everything that matters after a day on hill roads — a hot shower, a clean bed and somewhere to put your bags down.
A wooden floor, a carved ceiling ringed with warm light, brick and embossed-metal walls, and tall curtained windows that open on to green. It takes a reception as easily as it takes a birthday, an engagement, a naming day or a company offsite.
Tables and chairs, sound and lighting, the bar counter at one end and the kitchen behind it — and rooms upstairs for the guests who have come a long way.
Peaks, waterfalls, lake sunsets and hill temples — all within a morning's drive, and most of them along the road that passes the gate.
The summit of the Western Ghats in this state, with a small Shiva temple at the top and a ridge walk that drops away on both sides. Drive up as far as the steps and climb the rest. Go early — by mid-morning the cloud often closes in.

Water falls in a fine spray off a rock face near the Baba Budan dargah, and pilgrims stand under it for the blessing. There is a short walk down past stalls selling tea, honey and woollen caps.

A reservoir held in a bowl of hills with a small gazebo out on the water. It is the sunset spot of Chikmagalur — twenty minutes before the sun goes down is when to be there.
