the hidden valley

Welcome to The Hidden Valley in Chikmagalur.

Call it whatever you fancy: Kashmir of South or simply Chikmagalur. Just four and a half hours away from bustling Bangalore city, this picturesque little town captivates you with its charm.

The soothing vistas of coffee plantations at The Hidden Valley and the fragrance of fresh coffee beans will linger in your memory long after you have left the holiday home behind.

The Hidden Valley offers you a number of activities. You can walk in and around the estates and if you are lucky, spot a few wild animals. A guided tour of the coffee-growing process is quite an interesting experience. The sports enthusiast can enjoy a game of outdoor badminton, go on the trek to Devi Gudda or target shooting with an air rifle.

For those who just want to relax, sitting on the porch of the estate house, a good book and a hot pot of coffee is pure heaven. You could even unwind under the sky on the coracle on the mini lake.
The 250km drive from Bangalore to The Hidden Valley is an enjoyable one. Especially during the monsoons; gentle hills, coffee plantations, bubbling brooks and impromptu waterfalls, all a part of the environs that surround the little town of Chikmagalur.
With drives that are so good and the views so ethereal, Chikmagalur makes for a fabulous getaway during any season
About Us
The Hidden Valley is owned and managed by Aranha Homes, a hospitality company in Bangalore City.

Establisihed in the year 2000, Aranha Homes operates a chain of professionaly managed serviced apartments, guesthouses and conferencing facilities in Bangalore.

The idea of ‘feel at home’ guest houses or home-stays was rather new in the earlier years. People patronised hotels which were expensive and to a large extent highly commercialized. It was an uphill task to rope in guests from the corporate sector and to make them enjoy the comfort and cuisine of a privately run serviced apartments. Aranha Homes, however, have succeeded beyond all reasonable expectations in playing host to a large number of guests and visitors. The secret of their success lies mainly in their utmost courtesy, comfort and hospitality. Within a short span of time they have set up seven properties with over 50 rooms to address the hospitality needs of visitors to the city.

Now in their network lies The Hidden Valley, a cozy homestay in Chikmagalur in their very own coffee plantation.
