The Sinna Dorai bungalows are a tea planter’s home with many natural pleasures to enjoy instead. 

This is a time capsule of a bygone age. The wi-fi is variable, but you can find a better connection with the birds and the animals. There is no TV but you’ll see astonishing vistas of valleys and hills. There is no infinity pool but you can immerse yourself in the local streams. You live in homes of British-era plantation managers, so expect the comforts of a home instead of a modern hotel. It carries a charm all its own!

Early morning and evening walks are to be accompanied by our guides, since we live in close proximity to wild life. If you are lucky, you may spot an elephant, a bear, or a Gaur. You will always have the chattering birds for company!

We have detailed instructions on each bungalow page. Click here: Valparai (Tamil Nadu), Mangorange, (Tamil Nadu), Kadamane (Karnataka)

Plantation food is famous for its simple sophistication. Expect homely but flavorful dishes, all based on local produce and recipes. 

With its lush natural beauty and silence, the Sinna Dorai Bungalows are perfect for creative pursuits. Read, write or paint. Enjoy unhurried conversation. Or simply gaze at the majestic mountains.

We don’t serve alcohol.

We love animals but to keep your pets safe from the wildlife, we don’t encourage them on the estate.
