The food was absolutely sumptuous and we got to interact with the owner as well. The morning boat ride was icing on the cake.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of staying at Laughing Elephants, and it turned out to be a truly memorable and enriching experience. From the moment we arrived until our departure, everything was thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed, making the stay both relaxing and special. A heartfelt appreciation to Kiran, the owner, whose personal involvement made a world of difference. Right from our arrival, Kiran had a well-planned itinerary in place, ensuring that we experienced the best of the property without feeling rushed. His guidance helped us ease into the environment and truly soak in the beauty of the place. When we felt that travelling such a long distance and leaving early would not do justice to the experience, Kiran was extremely accommodating and graciously helped us extend our stay by an extra day. This flexibility allowed us to slow down, relax, and fully enjoy what Laughing Elephants has to offer—something we deeply appreciated. The property itself is serene, scenic, and incredibly peaceful. The calm atmosphere makes it a perfect escape from everyday hustle, and the surrounding views feel like nature at its finest. Adding to the charm were the two friendly dogs on the property, who were not only warm and welcoming but also constantly alert—keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings and safeguarding the place from intruders and even curious monkeys. Their presence added both comfort and character to the stay. A special thanks to Mani, who took excellent care of us throughout the stay. His attentiveness and readiness to help ensured everything ran smoothly, making us feel well looked after at all times. The food was an absolute highlight. Nagaraj and his wife deserve special recognition for serving delicious, wholesome meals that truly elevated the experience. Despite the campsite being fully occupied, and with very short notice, we had an ad-hoc request for a 5 PM lunch. In spite of the operational challenges and the difficulty of accommodating an additional requirement at that hour, Nagaraj went out of his way to arrange an incredible feast for us. This gesture spoke volumes about his dedication and hospitality, and the food was nothing short of amazing. The well-maintained tents, clean washrooms, and overall upkeep of the property were impressive and ensured a comfortable and hygienic stay—something that is often rare at campsites. Overall, Laughing Elephants is a place that blends natural beauty, thoughtful planning, warm hospitality, and great food into a truly fulfilling experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with a personal touch. We left with wonderful memories and are already looking forward to visiting again.
