Tour Highlights

An experience that helps you discover that the mind, body, and soul are in perfect harmony when you are one with the spirit of the land.

Evolve Back’s Spirit of the land philosophy finds its most intimate expression at Kabini, where you are drawn into the vibrant social tapestry of the local Kadu Kuruba tribe. While you discover a vernacular dimension to luxury that’s truly liberating, the resort gives you a wildlife experience like no other. Inspired in design by the Hadis or tribal villages, this picturesque resort of sweeping panoramic vistas, is bordered on two sides by the Kabini River.

When you step into the portals of Evolve Back Chikkana Halli Estate, Coorg, you leave one world behind, and step seamlessly into another: the bygone era of the Gentleman Planter. Ensconced in the cocooned comforts of a lush 300-acre plantation paradise, the resort is perfumed with the subtly intoxicating aroma of coffee and spice. Come, allow the Spirit of the land to infuse your very being, and coax you gently on a personal voyage of discovery.

Evolve Back Kamalapura Palace, Hampi is inspired by the architectural splendor and magnificence of the Vijayanagara Empire. You will revisit the glorious capital of this once prominent empire in the walks and visits we have designed for you. All our walks and visits have been thoughtfully fashioned to engage you in various aspects of its history, mythology, architecture, commerce and political life, which come alive in its striking monuments, magnificent temples and soul-stirring landscapes.
