Ardhangini ~ Intimate Tiny Treehouse | Kathaa

A compact, handcrafted sanctuary elevated inside the forest canopy. Ardhangini is Kathaa’s most intimate stay, a snug, warmly built wooden treehouse designed specifically for couples and solo travellers seeking privacy and a quiet pace of life. While purposefully compact in footprint, every inch of Ardhangini is thoughtfully crafted to make you feel enveloped by nature. Large windows frame the canopy, creating a cozy nest where you can wake up to morning light. The space Kathaa – The Forest Retreat is spread across approximately 5 acres of natural landscape near Trimbakeshwar, Nashik.

Digital Detox & Mindful Resource Use: We encourage taking a true break from screens and constant connectivity. Due to our remote forest location and seasonal monsoon weather, power grid outages and Wi-Fi disruptions occur frequently. Power backup is available to run essential lights and fans. Out of respect for nature, we operate our backup generators and systems mindfully to avoid overusing diesel and natural resources. Terrain & Forest Pathways: Kathaa is built across 5 acres of natural forest landscape. Reaching your stay involves walking along unpaved forest paths, stone steps, and natural terrain. Non-Smoking Policy: Smoking is prohibited inside all stays and indoor spaces. Forest Environment & Wildlife: You are living inside a real forest, it is home to harmless birds, butterflies, nocturnal insects, and local reptiles. While we carry out pest control, natural wildlife cannot and should not be entirely controlled in a forest environment. Please be mindful of your surroundings and keep door and mesh window screens closed towards the evening. Quiet Sanctuary: External portable speakers and loud music are prohibited outdoors at all times. Seasonal Weather: Magic moments like flowing streams, lush mist, and fireflies occur seasonally across the retreat during periods of active monsoon rainfall
