The location was fantastic and a great place for anyone is wanting to spend time with nature and themselves. Its a writers delight with lot of nooks and corners and the lake adds a lot of happiness. I could see a lot of birds and you wake up with their chirping sound.

Their hospitality and staff is their star! Serene views amidst nature. You can just walk to the lake anytime and it’s pure bliss. If you are a nature baby - you would like it here. The staff is very cooperative so if you feel a lack they are there to help you

I had spent around 4 days at Lakeside Resort at Athur Dindigul and it was one of the best places I visited in my life! The resort is overlooking a beautiful Dam and you can see excellent birdlife and peacocks around the resort. The food was topclass! And the host Thalaivi Meenakshi was one of the coolest persons I had ever met in my life! She is a brilliant adventurous person who has travelled the holy grail of road trips which is the Trans Siberian highway and one can only awe at her brilliant adventure! It was like reading a live version of around the world in 80 days! Hardcore bikers like myself could truly appreciate the adventure! The second day we had spent a beautiful hike in a nearby hill and walk itself was magnificent! The pathway was filled with a canopy of coconut trees and there was a canal of sparkling water that accompanied in our trek! It was sheerly magical! In evenings one can go for a long walk along the banks of the Dam and soak the sheer pristine beauty of the place! We were fortunate also to visit a nearby farm where we got a chance to meet the wonderful villagers, and also the amazing animals! Even the name of the cows was semma cool! I mean a massive Ongole cow was known as psycho rani, it was really marvelous. Reminiscing at those moments when I type the above review, I urge everyone to visit the place and go far away from the maddening crowd of the city!…

A rustic getaway with a colonial charm that spells tranquility, Lakeside Resort's hospitality is unmatched. Home-made meals that span not just several courses but also several cuisines. An ideal way to spend time with family and friends, or even just with oneself, for that centering experience.

We wanted to conduct our yoga retreat , this resort was a perfect place for our theme Nervous system Reset, the property located with a lakeside view , you immediately tune into the nature around you . You will see peacocks strutting around , birds chirping , butterflies gliding across in beautiful colours. Our participants also really appreciated the place and we would really love to come back here. The manager , cook and other staff members took care of us so well like a family member . Our retreat was well appreciated by the participants for choosing Lakeside Resort. Thank you meenakshi, vedika for being such a wonderful and accomodating hosts ! 🙏😊
