The retreat is surrounded by lush indigenous forests and gardens, making it an ideal location for finding many highland species and providing great opportunities for nature photography. The picturesque landscapes enhance the birding experience, with trails winding through forests, tea fields, and native vegetation.

The area is home to numerous bird species, including various types of sunbirds, swifts, raptors, and forest dwellers. Keep an eye out for unique resident and migratory birds - including warblers in the right season.
