The two new resorts are the The Krishna Mount View-Mountain Resort, Kausani in Uttarakhand and the Kadkani River Resort, Coorg, Karnataka.

Krisha Mount View-Mountain Resort is located in Kausani, a popular Himalayan destination for tourists, 53 kilometres north of the picturesque district of Almora, in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. At an altitude of 1890 metres above sea level, Kausani is known for its unspoilt natural beauty and its spectacular 350 kilometre wide view of majestic Himalayan peaks such as Trishul, Nanda Devi and Panchchuli. Located at the highest point of Kausani, Krishna Mount View-Mountain Resort boasts 31 luxuriously furnished rooms facing the breathtaking vista. The Resort is wi-Fi enabled and includes a multi cuisine restaurant serving Continental, Chinese and Indian fare, indoor games and a convenient dormitory facility for vehicle drivers.
The Kadkani River Resort is situated 250 kilometres from Bangalore in Coorg, dubbed as the Scotland of India. Coorg has a lot to offer to the nature lover. Misty hills, lush forests, acres of tea and coffee plantations, orange groves, undulating streets and breathtaking views are what make Coorg an unforgettable holiday destination. Situated within this picture perfect backdrop, The Kadkani River Resort, set within a coffee plantation, offers 36 fully equipped cottages, each with a private porch from where one can enjoy the tranquil surroundings on the banks of the majestic river Cauvery. The resort boasts a well-maintained 9-hole golf course laid out amidst areca-nut trees and coffee plantations.
