It is located away from an accessible road. the unmetalled tiny road that connects the hostel to the main road is under a railway bridge and it gets flooded easily. The caretaker had to lift my bag on his head and carry it to the aim road as no tuk-tuk could drive on that road and reach the hostel. There are literally no facilities. Food is sourced from elsewhere and sometimes the caterers refuse. You have to travel at least 1.5 km to a local restaurant. the owner should shut the place down.

Stunning location, on the lake. Also very near the railway so if you book a private room, bring earplugs!
