"Excellent and clean resort amidst pristine surroundings of nature. The best part is the open space which kids also enjoyed to the fullest. We definitely enjoyed the off-roading experience. Overall an amazing experience. Would highly recommend to all"

Our stay at Rivermist Resort was an excellent experience. We stayed in a mountain-front villa, the views, sound from the river and birds chirping were splendid! A wonderful mini-vacation and a great opportunity to be with nature!!!!

"RiverMist is a wonderful place for a short vacation from Bangalore. It was a very refreshing trip we have after a very long break. The place has beautiful hang-out places that adults and kids will enjoy. Highly recommended must visit place"

"The place is amazing for staying and relaxing. There are many games to play for the kids and the kids will enjoy them very much. You won't feel to come out from the natural river and after that bath in the jacuzzi just adds to it.......I would love to be there👍👍"
