Around the villa
Nelu Villa sits in a village setting surrounded by paddy fields. Mornings and late afternoons are the best times to walk or cycle the quiet lanes, when farmers are out in the fields and birds are most active.
Ideas for a slow day
- Hire a bicycle and explore the lanes around Kayanwala Road (bicycle hire available — charges may apply)
- Watch the light change over the paddy fields from the pool
- Look out for birds, butterflies and the occasional monkey
