The RiverMist Story Behind These Villas
Built by People Who Actually Believe in This Place
RiverMist wasn’t conceived in a boardroom. It began with two friends, Satish Krishnan and Srijith, who shared a simple vision to create a place where people could reconnect with nature without compromising on comfort.
Satish grew up in a farming family in Kerala before spending 23 years with global IT companies. Srijith was raised amidst the coffee-scented hills of Chikkamagaluru and his family’s entrepreneurial legacy, before spending 14 years in the corporate world and eventually bringing that experience into hospitality.
The Search
For almost a year, every weekend was spent travelling from Bengaluru to Chikkamagaluru, searching for a place that could leave every visitor speechless. When they finally stood in this hidden valley on the banks of the Netravathi River, they knew they had found not just the land they were searching for, but the place they had always imagined. Some places are found. Others are felt. RiverMist was one of them.

Villa's Owner Testimonial
“We invested in the vision because we had experienced it ourselves.”
We had two incredibly enjoyable, relaxing and memorable stays at RiverMist, and it quickly became one of the finest resort experiences we have had as a family over the past decade of travelling.
What stood out was the remarkable combination of place, people and experiences. The breathtaking natural beauty, thoughtfully curated activities, delicious cuisine and, above all, the sincere and knowledgeable hospitality of the RiverMist team created something truly special.
We believe RiverMist has the right combination of elements to remain a preferred destination for travellers for years to come. Having experienced the value it offers ourselves, we felt confident that others would continue to discover and return to this extraordinary place.
As first-time investors in a commercial hospitality project, we naturally had our share of anxieties. But at every stage, the professional, dependable and reassuring RiverMist team addressed our questions and concerns with complete transparency.
Our journey so far has been smooth and stress-free.
To us, RiverMist is more than a resort. It is a beautiful vision brought to life through heartfelt effort—a thoughtfully curated escape into a scenic mountain valley.
We are delighted to be a part of that vision.

Villa's Owner Testimonial
We Fell in Love with RiverMist. Then we choose to Own a Part of It.
We fell in love with RiverMist when we first stayed there in May 2025 and celebrated our wedding anniversary there. The hills surrounding the property, the river flowing through it and the misty mornings make the name RiverMist most appropriate. We were excited at the opportunity to own a small part of this paradise when we received the offer to purchase a villa at RiverMist. The entire process of buying the villa has been reasonably smooth, due the hands-on approach by Srijith and Satish to manage it. We eagerly look forward to the completion of the villa, and to enjoy it for years to come.
Before You Own It, Experience It
We would love to welcome you and your family to RiverMist. Experience our hospitality firsthand. If you decide to purchase a Presidential Villa, the full cost of your stay will be adjusted against your purchase.
“A sanctuary for those who seek privacy, nature, and authentic experiences without sacrificing comfort.”
