A Dream Rooted in Hospitality
For Yogesh Kumar, Yoshi Crest wasn't just about building a homestay—it was about creating a place where travelers could slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the warmth of genuine Coorg hospitality. Having been born and brought up in Madikeri, every hill, plantation, and winding road carries a story close to home. That local connection inspired a space where guests don't just visit Coorg—they experience it through the eyes of someone who calls it home.
Where Hospitality Becomes Personal
Luxury is often measured by grand buildings and lavish interiors. We believe it is measured differently.
It is found in remembering a guest's preferences. In offering directions before they're asked. In making sure a room feels welcoming before a door is ever opened. In recommending hidden places only locals know. In treating every visitor with the same warmth we would extend to family.
At Yoshi Crest, hospitality isn't a service—it is simply the way we welcome people.
A Name Inspired by the Hills
Yoshi is lovingly formed from "Yo" in Yogesh and "Shi" in Shilpa, the husband-and-wife duo behind Yoshi Crest.
Crest represents
C — Care,
R — Respect,
E — Experience,
S — Sincerity,
T — Trust
Together, these five values shape every stay at Yoshi Crest—ensuring every visit feels personal, memorable, and truly at home.

A taste of Yoshi Crest.
At Yoshi Crest, we proudly offer our own handcrafted, in-house wine - Vintera, thoughtfully prepared by Yogesh Kumar and his family.

Until Our Paths Cross.
Every journey eventually comes to an end.
The meaningful ones never truly leave us.

Until then, our doors remain open, and a warm welcome always awaits.
While our story continues to grow, our purpose remains the same — to welcome every guest with genuine hospitality and create experiences worth remembering.

The Soul of Madikeri
Behind every memorable stay is a family that genuinely enjoys welcoming people.
Led by Yogesh Kumar, Yoshi Crest is thoughtfully cared for by his family, whose warmth and hospitality create the welcoming atmosphere guests experience from the moment they arrive. From preparing rooms with care to sharing local recommendations and ensuring every stay feels comfortable, every detail is looked after with sincerity.
Supporting them is a dedicated team working quietly behind the scenes—managing bookings across our website and trusted travel platforms, coordinating guest enquiries, arranging transportation when needed, and taking care of the countless little details that often go unnoticed but make every stay feel effortless.
Together, they share one simple goal: to make every guest feel less like a visitor and more like they're returning to a place where they're always welcome.
The People Behind Every Stay
Madikeri isn't simply a destination—it is a feeling.
Misty mornings drifting across coffee plantations, golden sunsets touching distant hills, cool mountain breezes, and the gentle rhythm of nature create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Every season paints the landscape differently, from emerald-green monsoons to crisp winter mornings and pleasant summer escapes.
Located just a short drive from Madikeri's popular attractions while remaining peacefully tucked away from the bustle, Yoshi Crest offers the perfect balance of exploration and tranquility. It's a place where you can discover Coorg during the day and return to complete peace by evening.
