Our Family Story

How You Found a "Home Without Boundaries"

The Stag was born from a deep love for the Western Ghats. What started as a small family retreat in Ganeshgudi has grown into your sanctuary for nature and adventure.

Family-run since 2018, we believe in your right to experience a "Home Without Boundaries." Here, you aren't just a guest; you're part of our family. You'll enjoy homely food and a front-row seat to the magic of the Karnataka forest.

Our owner, Irfan, has lived in Ganeshgudi for over 12 years. He personally ensures that your stay is authentic, from the 6:30 AM bird-watching sessions to your 800-meter walk to the Kali River rafting point.
