Aashrayam Hotels and Resorts (Lake View) is a family resort beside the calm Arasimane lake at Karki, near Ramatirtha and NH66. It sits slightly away from the bustle of town and guests say the peace and beauty of the lakeside make the drive in worthwhile.
With a 4.8 rating from over a thousand Google reviews, it is one of the best-loved places to stay around Honavar. Families, groups of friends and even school groups come back again and again for the lake, the pools and the food.
Rooms and facilities
The resort has 26 rooms, from tents and standard rooms to executive and deluxe rooms, suites and bunk-bed rooms for groups. Many rooms look out over the lake. Guests describe the rooms as spacious, spotless and hygienic, with all the amenities you need.
Food
The restaurant has separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian kitchens and serves local dishes alongside Indian favourites. Guests praise the breakfast and dinner spreads, the home-style taste and the kitchen team's willingness to cook dishes that are not on the menu. The biryani is a must-try. In-room dining is also available.
Location and getting around
Aashrayam is about 6 km from Honavar railway station, near Ramatirtha and Karki. The last stretch of the approach road is narrow and partly unpaved, so a car or cab is the easiest way to arrive. Ramatirtha, Eco Beach and the Sharavathi River backwaters are a short drive away.
