The eco hut story
A homestay the forest lets in, not one that fences it out
We grew up on these forest edges — listening for elephants on the corridor, counting sunbirds before school. Chilapata Eco Hut is our way of sharing that life without crowding it.
- Solid concrete cottages, naturally cool — no AC needed
- Inverter backup, so power cuts don’t reach your fan or lights
- Hosts, cooks and guides from our village
- Refill stations, not plastic bottles
