[theMAG]

Folks,


I'm seeking the following information about this island resort:

1. How is it in terms of experience? Anyone stayed there?

2. Condition of roads to this place: I've lifted this map from their website.

How are the roads? Any instructions please?

3. Any recommended activities surrounding the resort ? 1st half of April is the targetted timeframe.


Thanks in advance for your anticipated responses.

I have visited Talakadu around 1 month back and the road condition is pretty bad. Don't know if the roads has been rectified now. Regarding the other two queries, Not sure as I have not stayed there. Maybe somebody might chip in with the information. Here's the linky to my travelogue.(you have to read the lst paragraph for the road condtion) Hope this helps. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/travel...lkad-back.html (Bangalore-Shivanasamudram-Talkad and back)

@theMag - I had been to this resort last in 2004, as told by snaronikar the road conditions were pretty bad, not very sure if it has improved after you cross the NICE junction on Kanakapura road. The resort was a good experience, cars had to be parked in Talakadu (they had a security guard with fenced parking place) and a motor boat will ferry you across the river to the resort. The resort was a pretty well laid out place, good staff, the food was edible and the rooms were clean. You may not expect a resort quality like Angsana or Golden Spa. Facilities like fishing, paddle boating, cricket field etc. Camp fire and Discotheque was also arranged by the resort. We went during the bird migration season, some of my team member managed to wake up early for a motor boat ride to a spot near Talakadu for some photographs (this ride was arranged by the resort guys).

PM me if you need more details.
