Shivalaya Arunachala - Home Stay in Kottangal - Tiruvannamalai, India

Got this accommodation recommended by a friend. - I only wanted to stay there for 3 days and it turned out to be 2 weeks. This is because the area is uniquely beautiful, perfectly quiet and swinging high. The landlord couple is very hospitable and cordial at all times. With the scooter, which you can get on site, you can be easy in the city/ashrams in 7 minutes.

Arunachalam is most holistic place, untill unless a call from Lord Arunachala Shiva no one is allowed to enter. That to in auspicious days like pournamy and specially Karthika pournamy (Karthika Deepam) Lakhs of people come from different countries of the Universe. During these days accomodation quite difficulty to get. At this tough time my friend booked accommodation, I was scared it, how it would...? because my bad experience in the past specially Karithadeepam days. "We are very much fortunate that, got accommodation at shivalaaya (It is not a temple, where people not allowed to stay at nights) surely above that, * Fertile soil heven to grow plants and black ants. * Greenish plants including high oxygen plants like bamboo trees * Surrounded with food, vegitable and medical plantations *Building where I stayed traditional, modern and western technology. ***" Above all hosted a devotional couple are in deep spiritual saadhana... Healthy environment, postive energies, spiritual touch and Arunachala Shiva Views...

This is a wonderful place radiating positivity and spirituality. The place is on the outskirts surrounded by greenery , and yet within 10nminutes of Ramana ashram. The hosts Shankara and Vimala are wonderful and super friendly. They went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable and explore thiruvannamalai - temples and Ramana ashram. The food was satvic and so good. We decided to eat most of our meals at Shivalaya . No doubt this is the best place to stay in Thiruvannamalai.

This place was very serene. Rooms were neat and clean. Its a very divine place with good view of the mountain. The hosts were very kind and welcoming.

We stayed at the property for 2 days(Jun 3 and 4, 2023). It was an awesome experience. Room is excellent which is more spacious for 5 persons. A good view of Tvmalai Hills from the property. Atmosphere is very pleasant surrounded by green fields and birds chirping. Shankara and his wife was very down to earth and we would recommend this property for everyone.

It has the most comfortable rooms with the most breathtaking views. Shivalaya is homely and very welcoming and definitely worth a visit! Had the best time here while the moon was set in the right place in the sky :D The hosts are extremely sweet and kind. The view from the terrace is the highlight of this stay :)

Shivalaya arunachala is a great place to stay when you visit arunachalam. Beautiful place. Great ambience. Pleasant stay. Traditional food served. Amazing view of arunachala mountain.Highly suggested for a pleasant stay with friends and family

Aah, i should say this place was more than my expectations. What a beautiful mountain view on one side ; it's surrounded by lush green farms on other sides - so freshening it is The hosts are so good to connect with - the place is so thoughtfully designed under the divine guidance of Lord Annamalaiyar and Mountain Arunachala. Truly it was a spiritual experience being there. Love visiting the place often with friends and family.
