Mojo is the art of casting a magic spell. And the Mojo Retreat lives up to its name. An eco-lodge, it’s a unique earth-friendly retreat. Nestled in the heart of the Western Ghats, surrounded by rolling hills and green valleys, this is a naturalist's paradise.

Discover the magic of nature at the retreat and explore tropical rainforests around or learn how coffee and cardamom are organically cultivated. Unwind and let your senses be soothed by the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. Wake up to the chirping of birds and the fragrances of exotic flowers. See rare, exquisite orchids growing in their natural habitats. Sit around a camp-fire, listen to the sounds of a rainforest at night and gaze into clear tropical skies.

USP: Butterflies and orchids – tropical paradise.
