Sirukundra refers to the formation of a cluster of small hills — a naturally captivating landscape shaped by Mother Nature, where the bungalow and its surroundings reflect a serene botanical theme filled with rare flowers, lush greenery, butterflies, and a rich variety of birdlife. Built in 1917, the Sirukundra Bungalow features three spacious bedrooms with large attached bathrooms, and interiors tastefully designed with antique furniture, creating a warm and timeless ambiance.
The property includes a plunge pool, an expansive lawn, and is surrounded by tall, majestic trees, with functional fireplaces available in all bedrooms, as well as in the living and dining areas. Within the compound, there are also four charming wooden chalets overlooking a scenic wooded area, along with two cozy tents and a croquet patch.

Wooden Chalets
The wooden chalets are placed unobtrusively within the Sirukundra Bungalow compound. There are 4 Wooden Chalets spread apart comfortably from each other to assure proper privacy. Each Wooden Chalet has 430 square feet of fantastically designed and constructed space. One of the best features is its balcony overlooking a wooded ravine full of fruit bearing trees. This attracts a variety of birds and the wooden balcony can be a fascinating high perch for photographers. The entire place resonates with bird songs, especially at dawn. You will cherish sipping your morning coffee or tea sitting on the deck of your balcony. The feeling that you get while staying at a Wooden Chalet is quite different from anything that you could experience in a mountain resort. It raises high above the ground and you get the experience of merging with the wilderness with a canopy of trees all around you.
