Although it is a cliche, we recommend you make a stop at Ooty, which is the most popular destination in the Nilgiri region (Ooty is 22.3 kms from the resort; 1 hour drive time). Once you have had your fill of the lake, head to the Thread Garden which is the brainchild of Antony Joseph, an artist from Kerala & located only a few minutes from the Ooty Lake. If you have more time on your hand, other local attractions that you can tick off your list includes the St. Stephen’s Church and the Doddabetta Peak which offers stunning views of the Hecuba, Kattadadu and Kulkudi peaks. If you like tea, another place that you need to stop by is the Tea Factory and Museum, which is 17.5 kms from the resort.
Kotagiri too has a host of attractions for travellers. Stop at the Sullivian Memorial (7.8 kms from the resort) which provides a concise history of the region and is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. The town also has several Christian establishments: Christ Church, St. Luke’s Church and Kota Hall, the latter a sanctuary for young boys that was built by missionaries.
