Heritage Hotels in Coorg Offer Classy Comfort

Charming Coorg, the land of the Cauvery and cardamom, occupies an area of 4,102 sq kilometres in the Western Ghats of south-western Karnataka.   According to ancient scripts, the land of initial settlement was called Krodadesa, which later became Kodavu.

Green Hills Estate, residence of the erstwhile Diwans of the Rajas of Coorg in South-West Karnataka, silhouetted against areca, coconut palms, wild mango, rosewood and a large Burmese mahogany tree , is one of the most unique Heritage Hotels in Coorg, promising you a memorable holiday!

.From strolling in the acres of rolling coffee and cardamom plantations, enjoying the salubrious hill breeze as the magical night lazily settles in, to discovering its rich cultural legacy or participating in personal anniversaries, birthdays and other memorable occasions (if you happen to be a friend of the hosts),  it’s a pretty wholesome holiday!

This stately mansion with suites named after prize-winning horses, is full of silver trophies, photographs, books and memorabilia of the ancestor-worshiping family which still inhabits the estate. The neighbouring  Nagarhole Wildlife Sanctuary remains the best-preserved habitat of the Asian elephant, the tiger, the spotted deer and the bison.

Fascinating excursions to historical Madikeri, Nalaknad Palace, Kushalnagar, picturesque Abbey and Irupu Falls, are a must!

How to reach Green Hills Estate in Coorg, is not a problem!   A pick up can be
easily arranged from the Mysore airport  (120kms) or railway station (114 kms)for a pleasant two and a half hour drive.   Bengaluru is 250 kms from this enchanting property!
