When nature imitates art

KONDETI VIEW POINT

There are two ways to experience Kondeti View Point: from above or up close. When you observe the landscape from an observatory, you’ll witness an almost map-like image: streaks of water cut into a brown ground decorated with dark strokes of green. But on land, size expands: distant streaks transform into streams of graceful waters; the faraway green strokes are now lines of majestic trees. Kondeti is truly nature’s unspoiled child.
