Even the mobile was not reachable. I had booked this thro' Expedia. Fortunately the auto rickshaw driver was knowledgeable about the place so took us to a nearby place. This did not have any name but there was someone to entertain us. He claimed that was the Palugaha resort & also said there was no intimation from Expedia reg my booking. However, he was kind enough to arrange the room for us. After that, everything was fine. Really a good place except that it is a bit away from the town. Every time we had to hire auto rickshaw. That was fine. Since we (two) were the only guests we were taken care of well. Would like to be there again. ##### Singh Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018
