Mazumbai Forest Reserve has two beautiful Swiss chalets built in the 1940s capable of accommodating 12 people. The grand living rooms of the chalets are heated by a warm fireplace, providing a relaxing retreat after long hikes in the forest. The main living room has a small library with various research reports about the Mazumbai forest and surrounding forests and villages. These texts are made available to researchers and students as reference materials. In addition, the centre provides cutlery and kitchen assistance to visitors.
The chalets are surrounded with colorful, well-tended flower gardens and lush, evergreen lawns. The lawns are also used as camping sites, where visitors can stay in tents for a small fee. There is ample supply of unpolluted freshwater originating from streams in the forest. The water is also used to run a Swiss hydroelectric generator to produce electricity for lighting in the houses.
