Be welcomed by the songs of birds onto this ancient plantation site. Dindigul is the nearest main town, and with that being 50km away you are truly engrossed in the tranquil foothills of the Western Ghats. A number of villages are an adventurous walk away ready to be explored.<\/p>\n<h2>Your room<\/h2>\n<p>Your suiteis simple yet authentic, spacious yet cosy and ultimately peaceful. White walls meet black oxide floors providing a gentle and contrasting ambience. A splash of colour compliments the classic panache throughout your bed chamber. Your suite is accessed through the main courtyard and opens out onto the serene garden of the Rajakkad.<\/p>\n<h2>Why we like it<\/h2>\n<p>The opportunity to get lost in your surroundings and allow a well-earned break among a vast array of forest is an idyllic venue to pause for thought.
