Where we are
Amidst the forests of Bhimashankar
Kailasam is surrounded by the serene beauty of the Western Ghats and the spiritual presence of Lord Shiva. Located near the sacred Bhimashankar Temple — one of the twelve Jyotirlingas — the region brings together dense forests, mountain landscapes, rich biodiversity and a deep cultural heritage.
Get directionsThe people
Development begins with people
We believe that meaningful development begins with the people who call Bhimashankar home.
