The real star is the district of Coorg where this
resort is based. You may or may not choose to
stay in this resort but it will make no difference
to the charms exercised by Coorg - a hilly
district in South India redolent with coffee
plantations and verdant forests.
The resort has the usual suspects - gym,
swimming pool, cofee shops, a Ayurvedic
Centre for stress relaxation and even its own
private lake- but that would be missing the
point. I stayed for a week but spent most of
my time exploring the countryside. The
unusual feature of this resort is that it is
designed on the lines of a mock English Tudor
village. The service is courteous and it comes
as no surprise to learn that it has been
awarded the RCI Award for excellence 5 times
consecutively.
The forest teems with wildlife. Elephants come
to the edge of the resort and you are warned
by the resort not to wander around after
sunset. Evenings are best spent in front of
your fireplace with a long glass of whisky.
Rooms are not luxurious. Bathrooms are basic
but clean. Kitchennettes are small but
adequate. Arm yourself with books and
walking shoes and this will be a trip to
remember.
