Banter with the birds, gaze at the hills

Built in 1927, this is a charming, four-room planter’s bungalow. The evergreen forest behind it attracts many species of birds. If you’re lucky, you may spot the Great Indian Hornbill, among others. From your room, you may also catch the Lion-tailed Macaque galloping across the garden, or the shy Nilgiri Langur. Lose track of time watching the sun set behind the Anamallai Hills, until the aroma of a homely meal graces your table.
