Explore Castlereagh Reservoir in a traditional canoe

The Castlereagh Reservoir is one of the most serene components of our valley, and it stretches and getting out on the water is a peaceful and tranquil way to take in this stunning landscape.

Exploring the reservoir in a traditional canoe with a local fisherman makes this a quiet and sustainable experience, and by partaking in this, you are directly supporting the livelihoods of local fishermen and their families.

The canoes are predominantly used to transport villagers and school children across the valley; therefore, the experience takes place only twice per day, from 9:00am to 12:00 noon and again from 3:00pm to 5:00pm.

The walk to the canoe from the bungalow is a 20-minute stroll downhill and you’ll be accompanied by a butler. The Castlereagh Reservoir is as atmospheric and magical on a clear and sunny day, as it is on a misty, overcast evening. This stunning reservoir is also home to elusive Eurasian otters.
