Workation in Chikmagalur: Work from the Hills

Imagine your morning stand-up with mist outside the window and a pot of estate coffee next to the laptop. A workation in Chikkamagaluru is very doable if you plan it right.

Connectivity

Tranquil Terrain has Wi-Fi and mobile network. Like everywhere in the hills, speeds can vary in heavy rain. If your work depends on video calls, carry a backup data plan from a second network.

Power

We have power backup, so short outages in the monsoon do not stop your day.

Best villas to work from

• Retreat and Haven have separate lounges, so you can work away from the bed.
• Twin Peaks is great for two colleagues, each with a room.

A good routine

Estate walk at 8, work 9 to 5 with breakfast and lunch at the restaurant, hi-tea and a quick drive to Hirekolale Lake for sunset, then bonfire. Keep weekends for the big sights.
