Facilities that Make Your Stay Special


Our homestay goes beyond just providing a place to sleep - it’s designed to be your perfect retreat. The lounge area is a great place to mingle with fellow travellers, share stories, and perhaps make new friends. In the mornings, you can sip a warm cup of tea on the veranda as you take in the mist-covered hills, or explore the on-site walking trails to start your day with some fresh air and light exercise.

If you’re up for a little adventure, you can arrange for a packed meal and head out on a picnic to one of the scenic spots nearby.

Explore Nearby Attractions


Staying at a Nilgiris homestay not only allows you to experience comfort but also brings you closer to some incredible attractions. Located a short drive away, Catherine Falls is one of the most popular waterfalls in the Nilgiris. The trek to the falls takes you through a forested trail, offering beautiful views and a chance to spot local wildlife. If you prefer something quieter, Elk Falls offers a more serene spot to enjoy nature. Rangaswamy Peak and Pillar is a natural marvel for trekking and photography. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can hike to the peak and enjoy a panoramic view of the Nilgiris. Just 20 kilometres from Kotagiri, Coonoor is another charming hill station worth exploring. You can choose to stay at Ibex Stays & Trails, Coonoor (Leewood), which offers similar comforts and facilities.
