Escape to Nature at
Guddada Siri
Experience authentic Malnad hospitality amidst the breathtaking coffee estates of Sakleshpur.
A Hidden Gem
in Sakleshpur
Nestled deep within a lush coffee estate, Guddada Siri Homestay offers a peaceful, soul-stirring retreat surrounded by nature.
Wake up to mist-covered hills, breathe in the fragrance of blooming coffee blossoms, savour fresh Malnad cuisine, and create unforgettable memories with your loved ones — all in the heart of Karnataka’s majestic Western Ghats.
Sakleshpur is a serene hill town blessed with thick rainforests, spice plantations and a cool climate throughout the year. Often called the “Kashmir of Karnataka”, it sits along the historic Bengaluru–Mangaluru route and is home to ancient temples, waterfalls and trekking trails that draw nature lovers from across India.
At Guddada Siri, you’ll find more than just a place to stay — you’ll find a slice of the Malnad: warm hospitality, home-cooked meals, bonfires under starlit skies, and silence interrupted only by the chirping of birds and rustling coffee leaves.
Our Swimming Pool
Cool off in our scenic poolside paradise with panoramic Malnad views — the most loved feature of Guddada Siri.
