We had a serene experience at “HighPoint Homestay “. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and cozy. The actual high point was the interactions we had with Gautam and Bindu; sharing warm stories and tasting delicious homemade food. We arrived as guests and left as friends. If it’s Thirthahalli, it’s always HighPoint for us. Thank you Gautam & Bindu.
My husband Biswajit and I are on a road trip from Gurgaon to Karnataka. (We have not returned to Gurgaon yet, and we wish we could continue for ever). Tirthanhalli was supposed to be a go in-between stay. However, because of Gautam and Bindu (owners) of this homestay, Tirthanhalli turned out to be a memorable place for us that came alive because of the hospitality offered.
The town at first glance was nondescript (and so were the other hotels) till we understood the historical and spiritual significance.please read up on it. (The Shiva temple established by Parashuram on the banks of river Tunga amongst many ancient temples). Tirthanhalli is some 2 hours from Kudli, the Sangam of Tunga and Bhandra. Adi Shankara Charya sat here and meditated on the banks. The history of this place is mine boggling. None of this we could have experienced in the fullest had we not found this homestay. We had a beautiful spacious room, clean and aesthetically appealing. The home that belongs to Gautam and Bindu is a heritage home, the inner courtyard is nothing short of blissful while the veranda upstairs is divine with a swing where you can spend your time relaxing. Parking is not an issue, it's safe and convenient. Even though the home is very central it's in one of the quiet alleys.
As regarding the breakfast that Bindu cooks and serves, it has been one of the finest we have experienced in our trip. Gautam, we found to be one of the finest gentleman to have come across.
Both Biswajit and I hope that we have found a friend in Bindu and Gautam.
