The resort has rooms overlooking the lake with full-length bay windows.

A big thank you to the owners of Deja Vu (Tel: 247316; Tariff: Rs 3,000), an idyllic cottage, for throwing open their love) holiday home to fellow travellers. Everything about Deja Vu's decor, from the elegant crockery to the chimes hung on the pine tree near the deck, tells you something about the people who painstakingly created a dream home in the wilderness.
