 Nature Trail - Becoming closer to nature

The sprawling Vagamon hideout lies within 25 acres of land with a palatial lake at its centre, which is a landmark. In surrounding areas, you see uneven hills and dales decked with greeneries and canopies formed by little woods.

Far behind, silhouetted against the blue sky lie barren black rock hills, inviting you to explore her.

Kick off your winding nature trail now through various elevations, through the green growth of tea, cardamom and  other plantations. Man-made cobbled stones are paved along the main pathways meandering the landscape. Wooden bridges are also provided above water stretches at certain junctions to allow crossing over.  

Trek the safety hills to enjoy the thrill of mountaineering. Cool wind blowing on your face will never make you drop. Fresh air of the verdant surroundings acts as an elixir that keep you energetic and wanderlust.

Sun here will never make you weary, for it never ever sheds out its scorching heat. The changing mood and tint of the mighty sun over the hilltops can be viewed through the bedroom windows of your cottages, as there is barely any thick growth over the hills that hinders your vision. Most mornings as well as nights are misty, but the situation can change all on a sudden. Morning sun rays seeping down through the fogs presents a picturesque sight… yes indeed, the world is beautiful !   
 

 Aqua Sports...… 

  
If ever you feel travel-sore you can take a dip into the lake or make a leap into the private natural pool. At a shadowy recess in the hideout earth has been carved out to make it a swimming pool that ensures adequate privacy. A little bit of frolicking with water … you can… as there is also swing made of rope hanging from a tree branch leaning towards the centre of this pool.

The walls of the pool are built with jungle rocks (cut out from hill rocks by hand), and pressed together with clay. The pasty clay, taken from nearby areas, becomes a right kind of substitute for cement. The water in the lake and pools are fresh for there is a frequent inlet of fresh water from its origin, which is the fountain-like springs found in several places at higher altitude. Medicinal plants, and plantations like pepper, cardamom etc. planted in its course only add aroma and medicinal quality to the inflowing spring water. Your breathing of the fresh and invigorating atmospheric air here comes to be the first phase of your rejuvenation therapy and your bathing in water bodies becomes the second one. 

You can also enjoy a cruising on the lake in country boats or in Machans (round boats) or in Bamboo rafters. But don’t get amazed when you see the flock of geese which you saw, just a moment before, waddling around you, wading through the water, as if to give you a company. Just call them their name, in a few minutes, they are by your side, so that you can watch them at close quarters. 
 

 Fishing time… 

 
The spot is the best bet for anglers. They can begin angling early morning and continue it till they are really fed up. Don’t fear you are going for an overkill, because there is an abounding population of fishes in different size, shape and colour in the hideout’s natural lake. It is here that guests spend hours after hours fishing either for fun or in order to fish out their choices to be included in their list of ‘food of the day’.  

If you agree … If you’ve made up your mind …          
You are MOST WELCOME !!!
