Strikes a blessing in disguise.

Political uncertainty and a long lean period caused thereof in otherwise a busy tourist season has also been a blessing in disguise for "The Reshi Retreat and Farmhouse". Mani and his friends are working hard to remove all the stones and rocks on the west end of the farmhouse for a bit of landscaping.Future plans for a little garden and play space for children seem to be coming up faster than earlier planned. And thanks to these continuous strikes in the hills.

strike continues...

General strike called by GJMM  continues for third day. Hope all is going to be fine soon. We earnestly feel sorry for all our guests who had to change their plans because of these strikes. However "The Reshi Retreat and Farmhouse"  is always there to welcome you in days to come. Better Late(r) than never....
