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.
