Jackfruit Tree House

Tree houses are a very interesting concept and they offer a whole new meaning and elevation to your living. I am sure we all have seen our fair share of tree houses during our life. Even, I have seen a lot of tree houses. In fact, I used to play in them as a kid. However, this was the first instance when I came across this tree house built on a jack fruit tree.

The jackfruit tree house 
It is a pretty unique concept as I had never seen large jackfruits hanging below and around the tree house. The sight looked totally inviting. No wonder the kids were totally ga ga over it. I saw this jackfruit tree house at the Hoysala Village Resort, a luxury yet aesthetically designed resort on the Hassan-Belur road in Karnataka.

    Now that is one great incentive to visit the Hoysala resort! i love tree houses but have never actually stayed in one. the only place we visited which had tree houses, the owner refused to allow us to stay there since samhith was then too small and they were afraid he would fall off :(

    have seen tree houses, but not on top of a jack-fruit tree!! Generally they don't branch out I guess!!!

    Anu, these tree houses are not meant for staying, but rather for enjoying...the kids can have a great time out...but then I am sure Samhith would love to build his own room inside that tree house :-)

    I guess that should be correct as jackfruit trees are known to be very stocky. After all, the branches have to be real stout to bear the weight of these heavy fruits.

    Well, I guess the credit should goto the resort for designing such an innovative tree house.
