WEEKEND GATEWAY

  KUTEERAM

Nirvana. The blissful state. Where the body, mind and soul are passive to the world passing by. There is no past, no present, and no future. Only the sublime ecstasy of inner awareness. In such a state, the entire being is at peace. Tranquil and sedate.
   
Nirvana is hard to come by in today's demanding world. But put the body in the right surrounding and the experience comes close. Kuteeram offers you one such surrounding.

Kuteeram. The temple of tranquillity.
 
A one-hour drive from Bangalore, and you reach Kuteeram. Cut away from the city civilization, it blends in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature. Designed by the award winning architect the glory of ancient Indian art. Made of stone, mud and bricks, it is a silent testimony to perfection in impression. Complementing this ancient grandeur is the profound, reverential silence that pervades the retreat. All that breaks it would be your footsteps on the gravel or the wind, unremitting, whistling past the bamboo shoots.   
Rest likes an Indian King

As a place of stay, Kuteeram has a timeless appeal. There are nine cottages out of which three are suites, each one different from the other. Reminiscing the retiring chambers of the bygone Indian Royalty, they exude a rare, old-word charm.
