Rooted in Similipal
Our story
Similipal Eco Cottage is a small nature retreat in Lulung, near the Pithabata entry gate—created for travellers who want forest, quiet and warm local hospitality.

A sense of place
A simple forest stay with a deep sense of place
Canopied by trees, the property brings together tribal-inspired cottage architecture, practical modern comforts and open-air spaces for unhurried time outdoors.
The jungle stream, mountain views and forest edge shape the rhythm here. Mornings begin with birds and filtered light; evenings invite tea, conversation and the comfort of a freshly prepared meal.
We welcome travellers who value calm surroundings, uncomplicated comfort and a genuine connection with the landscape around Lulung.
