Elephant Point Retreat

Scenic beauty, high waterfalls and the banks of river kameng surrounded by lush tropical rain forests. All these make for a delightful gateway. The meandering kameng river provides excellent opportunities for white water rafting, and when you’re not rushing down the waters together, you can picnic on the river bank. Or visit the orchidarium at Tipli for a special flower for your lady’s hair! the Elephant point Retreat is the perfect place to stay and 16 of the 26 rooms offer splendid views of the river. Ther report sprawls over 60 acres of orchard and the food in simple and homely. After a challenging day you can go for a romantic buggy ride together and then sit close in the openair Garden Restaurant, which has little fires beside each table. Next door to the Retreat is the pakhul wildlife Sanctuary, where you can also spend time bird watching. Nestled amid the trees of the country’s most remote state, Elephant Point Retreat is a place to savour the sounds and smells of nature. Tucked deep into the tropical rain forests, the Retreat stands on a 60-acre orchard covered in banana, lychee, orange and pineapple trees near the gushing kameng River. If you’re an angler, head to the river, or stay on land and try to get a glimpse of some of the rare birds that call the forest their home. Each room has its own sit-out, which makes the perfect spot to read, sip hot chocolate and gaze at the lush greenery that surrounds you. If you’re up for some fun takes a buggy ride; if you’re looking to really unwind, then head to the spa for some ayurvedic massages to revitalise you.
