What an amazing place, Kotagiri. I cant understand why we took so long to go there and discover its scenic beauty and unpolluted air. Well I guess it was just a stroke of good luck. An old friend asked me to come view the new property they had leased and made into a boutique hotel. Called Teanest, Nightingale, it took us seven hours to drive down from Bangalore.
As far as the eye could see were rolling slopes of the Nilgiris hills covered in tea bushes. Simply heavenly, we stopped to stare and gape at the sprawling untouched vistas before us. Kotagiri which my Uncle priest always spoke about and who came to every single year for a retreat. For some calm and stress busting time and now we understood why.
The inside of the elegant colonial bungalow was done up with a lot of care and love. Muted colours blended and luxurious furnishing had turned the insides into a restful and luxurious homestay. Just four rooms and yet, it was a place we will never forget. None of the posh new resorts came anywhere near this.
A tiny little library was well stocked with books to cater to the tourists who wanted to spend a little quiet time reading in the comfortable balconies with a hot cup of chai.
Take your next holiday in Kotagiri at Teanest Nightingale and I can assure you, you will come back refreshed and ready to take on the mad whirl of what life in the city has become.
