Chikhaldara · Maharashtra
Set at 1,100 metres above Maharashtra's only coffee estate, Chikhaldara is cool, forested, and unhurried. Navin's Resort keeps it that way.
Cool climate, year-round
At 1,100 m, the hills stay pleasant even in summer — a genuine escape from the Maharashtra plains.
Melghat forest on your doorstep
Tiger reserve, birdwatching, coffee estate walks. The landscape rewards a slower pace.
Personal, unhurried hospitality
Under 15 rooms, family-run. You are a guest here, not a booking reference.
The stay
Under fifteen rooms, family-run, set among the Melghat hills. Mornings begin with forest mist and birdsong. Evenings cool quickly. There is no rush here.
Forest views
Rooms open onto the Melghat canopy. The treetops are never far.
Cool year-round
At 1,100 m, even summer stays below 30°C. Evenings need a light layer.
Under 15 rooms
Small enough that the owner knows your name. Not a number, not a unit.
Melghat wildlife
Tiger reserve, resident leopards, over 200 bird species — all within reach.
Quiet evenings
No nightlife, no noise. The valley is still by 8 pm. That's the point.
Book direct
No travel-site commission. Same room, lower price when you book with us.
Chikhaldara is worth a visit any time — just pack accordingly.
