Ooty & Kodaikanal Hill Retreat
A slow, cool five days in the Nilgiri and Palani hills. Ride the rack-and-pinion Nilgiri Mountain Railway — a UNESCO World Heritage line — up to Ooty, then cross the ghats to Kodaikanal for lake mornings and shola forest walks. Built for couples and families who want altitude, tea gardens and long views rather than a monument checklist.
