Sand Banks @ Coorg,Karnataka
About
Sand Banks:
Alluring as Coorg may be,
there are those special areas that are quite peerless in their appeal. Sandbanks
is one such. Juxtaposed in the crook formed by a curling bend in the Cauvery
river and a range of hills in the west, Sandbanks is simply that - a green
swarded stretch of gently undulating terrain nestled on the alluvial sandy
deposits of a lazy river.
Accommodation :
The ambience puts
you perfectly at ease and the lodging designed to blend in with rather than
ornament the scenery. Graceful and charming, each feature of the landscape
and hospitality structure is crafted to soothe and comfort.The
homestay consists of 2 twin cottages (for 4 families)situated on a long stretch
of land, within a coffee estate in and surrounded by a small river on three
sides approx 150 mts from Sand Banks,which is secluded & has total privacy.The

a verandah,a bedroom & a toilet.It also has a small kitchenette &
a store.While the store is only for the hosts' use,the kitchenette can be
