Exquisite Breakfast

The breakfast at Elephant Court was absolutely good! With a wide variety of items and even a live cooking station, every meal felt special. The Indian cuisine was particularly satisfying, and I found myself eagerly anticipating breakfast each morning.

Relaxing Spa Experience

I tried the 'Abhyangam' oil massage after a long day of hiking, and it was wonderfully soothing. The spa provided a much-needed escape, and I left feeling rejuvenated. The peaceful environment added to the overall experience.
