Once
upon a time, 15 years ago, a group of eccentric nature lovers sat atop
Lasni temb, a mountain 817 meters high and pondered upon a dream that
was close to their heart. A dream that would one day evolve into one of
the region's finest nature Hotels. A wild dream aptly named Wildernest.
Nestled in the Swapnagandha valley, amidst thick expanse of forest tracts
at 800mtrs above sea level, overlooking the Vazra falls and the entire
panoramic view of Goa, Wildernest is an unsung wonder created to introduce
you to your roots of nature and culture.
A place where the sounds of silence are heard. Where the wild flowers
emit a youthful fragrance and the melodious rhapsody of creatures big
and small fills the morning sky. Come. Come to Wildernest to experience
an explosion of the senses……that combines colours, forms, figures, textures,
moods and emotions to create a space that is both eternal as well as ethereal.
Where tranquility and naturalism reign supreme amidst sprawling wildscapes
of blues and greens ……we would write on and on, but nothing we write can
possibly describe the unusual opulence and picturesque setting of this
place christened Wildernest. Come, begin a tryst with this hidden paradise
like we began ours and live happily ever after.
