Above the valley,
time slows down

Welcome to Ayati

A resort composed around the Krishna Valley

Set on a hillside in Bhilar, on the road between Panchgani and Mahabaleshwar, Ayati is a collection of private cottages, each opening onto a balcony garden that faces the Sahyadri ranges. Mornings begin with the valley at your feet and the mist still drifting through it.
