When Brigade Hospitality Services decided to set up a resort, we
looked for a spot that would have a breathtaking natural setting,
be pleasantly removed from the noise and confusion of modern life
and yet be close to places of tourist interest. We found such a site,
right next to our own coffee plantations, near our home town Chikmagalur.
Set against the majestic backdrop of the Western Ghats, the spot
where the Cascades Hill Resort & Spa will be located is on a
cloud-kissed hill slope that overlooks the picturesque town of Chikmagalur
and the coffee plantations that surround it.
At an altitude of over 4,500 feet above sea level, the air is crisp
and cool, with temperatures dropping to 8
oC in winter
and touching a maximum summer high of 30
oC. It is weather
made for outdoor pleasures: nature walks through our coffee plantations,
treks, sports and sight-seeing. Early sunsets bring with them the
advantage of bonfires that last long into the night, guided treks
into the sleeping forest…and more.
The biological diversity of the Western Ghats is one of the richest
in the world—second only to the Amazon Valley. Several major
wildlife and bird sanctuaries are located near our resort.

Not only is the area blessed by nature, it is also touched by the
exciting imprints of history. Unlike many other hill resorts, we
have a variety of first magnitude tourist places in the immediate
vicinity.
Best of all, trips to each of these places can be completed within
a single day or less. This calendar will give you a picture of some
of the things you can expect to see and do when you visit us.
With its natural beauty, sports and entertainment facilities, luxury
accommodation, fine cuisine, and proximity to places of tourist interest,
the Cascades Hill Resort & Spa will be an ideal holiday destination.
One that is easy to reach, but hard to leave.
