When we arrived at CGH Earth Mantra Koodam resort in Kumbhakonam, I found it to be a jungle oasis. We stayed two nights here where we enjoyed the peace and quiet, nature hikes, Indian food and Ayurvedic treatments. The grounds are so beautiful I decided to dedicate this post to the resort.

Our room was very nice with one exception. The bathroom was pretty big and it had two showers. One was a “normal” shower. The other one was what I guess you would call a “natural” shower where natural water came down through a spout like a waterfall. Above this portion of the bathroom there was no roof. Thats right, a great big opening to the sky. At first I thought it was pretty cool, but then came the part when it rained (think “rain forest”) and the clothes we had hanging to dry got soaking wet. And not to overlook the part where we were in the jungle where there are lots and lots of mosquitoes. Needless to say, we had to take great care to keep the bathroom door closed at all times and limit our time in there.
