Illika is Sanskrit for Earth and Imperience is a state of being that goes beyond regular experience. Illika Imperience LLP was formed in early 2024. Siri Serenity is a dream project shared by a group of like minded friends, and an invitation to rewrite the narrative of our relationship with nature. We envisioned an idyll where nature enthusiasts reconnect with their primal selves, where families forge unforgettable memories under the open sky, and where weary souls find solace in the gentle rhythm of the tropical Indian forests. A promise of experiences that etch themselves onto your soul, memories that bloom brighter with each passing year, and a call to return, again and again, to the solace and wonder that awaits in the heart of the wild. To provide you with a true Illika Imperience, our mission is to be more than just a destination; we aspire to be a transformation. Our guests will not arrive as tourists, but as pilgrims, seeking not just fleeting leisure, but a profound reconnection with themselves and the world around them.

A hidden gem in the heart of a 100 year old Coffee Estate. Off the beaten path, our tranquil retreat offers a unique blend of natural beauty, comfort, and adventure, providing an unforgettable experience for our guests. With a focus on sustainable practices and preserving the environment, we strive to create a harmonious sanctuary where guests can reconnect with nature and rejuvenate their mind, body, and soul. All meals are served at the property and you will discover cuisine with soul. Local specialties carefully crafted to bridge cultures, offering familiar comfort alongside exciting new discoveries. Located within the Bhadra Wildlife sanctuary, you can embark on scenic hikes, explore lush forests, get drenched in our own private water fall, have a sip of fresh spring water and discover hidden treasures of the wilderness. And, if that's not your cup of coffee, sit back, relax and just do nothing while nature whispers beautiful melodies in your ears. We are also delighted to be a pet-friendly property, welcoming guests and their beloved pets to enjoy our facilities together.
