The building and grounds were designed, built and decorated by Master Feng Shui Practitioners for the comfort, peace and harmony of the guest. Lakkhotaa Lodge is not just grounded in ancient learning. It is well insulated to slow down the transfer of heat, and to be efficient in its use of energy. All rooms are air conditioned by reverse-cycle heating and cooling as needed. The double glazed teak windows keep out noise and serve as additional insulation. The building conceals well-engineered double beams and steel trusses designed to make the Lodge safer in an earthquake region. There is a 300 feet deep 8 inch tube well with submersible pump to provide water for the 65 feet high water tank. There is ample water of high quality at very good pressure.
