We want the green resort visitors to realise that by choosing to stay in bamboo resort, they have supported environment and hundreds of rural and tribal livelihoods with this project.”

It is the passion that was the driving force that resulted in building the first of its kind of resort in entire India. The response to the bamboo resorts is excellent for its unique appearance and many of them were surprised at their first visit.” The whole structure is built on an area of 12 ft x 25 ft, out of which, a vast room is made in the area of 12 ft x 20 ft consisting of attached washroom, balcony and a 12 x 12 size bedroom. Bamboo shoots are strong enough to hold the geysers attached to the walls, he adds. The construction cost of the Bamboo resorts is Rs 45 lakh in total.
