As mentioned earlier this place is run by the couple. They charge Rs.1000 for 2 days and 1 night stay. They have very very basic facility. In fact for water you need to take it from a well directly. Last i visited was i think in 2008 and just at that time, they had built couple of toilets.
Basically the activities you can do over there is a lot of swimming on the backwaters, coracle ride, etc. If there is no rain, then they take you to a island on the backwaters and put up tent and stay overnight. The next day early morning they will take you for a small trek.
Food is also very basic. Most importantly, they do not allow littering, no smoking, no alcohol. They are very strict on this.
Best time to go here is Feb to May. It would be hot and you can enjoy the water a lot. We had been mid of June and we could not camp on the island as it started raining.
During rainy season, there will be lot of leeches. And also during rainy season, there are slim chances of you enjoying the waters because the water tend to rise very quickly if there is heavy rainfall in the catchment areas and it would be cold also.
To reach there, you need to reach Talaguppa, from Talaguppa, you can trek or take a jeep.
You might have noticed Talaguppa on your way to Jog, this village is just after Sagar city.
