Eco Habitat's owner, Som Shekhar C from Bangalore is an experienced professional across many fields, but four years ago decided to move to a farm in the Coorg region with his young family. His love for nature and his enthusiasm to promote eco-living helped him set up a farm on which he now grows organic spices and has three cows. Taking his passion a step further and with an intent of offering city folks a slice of nature , he also set up two homestay cottages on his farm.
The whole setting is serene, with a river a five minutes' walk away, and the cottages themselves are spacious and clean, complete with television and a private pool.

Comment from guest:
"In this summer season where all the hotels and cottages in Coorg are crowded, we have selected Eco Habitat because we wanted a relaxing weekend.
Well situated among all the main sightseeings of Coorg, it is a quite place full of greeneries. The house is among a big coconut,palm and spice field. The owner Som and his wife received us nicely with very good home food and they kindly arrange our 3 days trip in Coorg, recommanding us what to visit, where to get Coorgi food and how to reach thoses places. We enjoyed our first trip in Coorg, feeling like at home, we will definitively come back for trekking, fishing and rafting."
