Mainstream fashion trends have always been a reflection of the social norms, transforming ideologies, and defining moments of the eras. From the casual worker uniforms of the 40s to the skirts and dresses of the Hollywood ’50s, and the bell-bottoms flowy clothes of the disco 60-70s, fashion has always been a distillation of their particular eras.
It was the middle of September when me and my friends were planning to go for a monsoon trip. We were searching for places. As we hit upon staying at a Kotagiri resort, we decided on going to Green Nest.
The most beautiful time to visit the southern hills are during the months of September. Its neither too sunny or nor too rainy. Its a perfect autumn weather where the temperature is just right in-between 14-22* C
Our plan was to reach Kotagiri via the Bandipur forest, taking a pitstop in Renukamba Tatte Idli on the via Mysore Road. it takes around 9-10 hours to reach Ooty of you leave around 6am in the morning, considering the traffic and a minimum of 1 hour from Ooty to the resort in Kotagiri.
1.Before Entering the Bandipur forest you need a Double Vaccination certificate or -Ve RTPCR Test Report
2.You will also need a Tamil Nadu permit to visit, if you are from Karnataka, Andhra, Kerala
( PS: we dint have this sorted and we wasted around 2.5 hrs just trying to get internet and the Tavel pass sorted )
Once we entered the forest it’s a scene of natural beauty and we were mesmerised by the lush greenery. You can always try to pitstop at one of the jungle lodges and we spotted the Deers, loads and loads of Elephant herds with their kids, Variety of Birds like Peacocks, Parrots, Buffaloes, Goats and a lot of Flaura & Fauna. I felt like Alice in wonderland all over again !
As we reached the Kotagiri Resort, Green Nest, it was in the midst the 25-acre Tea plantation and surrounded by southern hills & dew on all sides. The Chilly breeze surpassing your face will give the feel of little Switzerland in India. At the first Glance it looked like Arcadian heaven.
Since we had reached around 1pm in the noon we were quite hungry and had an amazing South Indian Delecay of the Todas in Room Service. I loved the South Indian meals especially the pepper Rasam and the spices in the food was so soothing to the throat which will give you a relief from the sudden small cold that anyone trends to catch when we enter a hill station.
The resort comprises a total of 15 luxurious rooms each offering incredible views of the tea plantations. All the rooms comes along with a balcony facing tea gardens.There are 4 category of rooms in the property each offering different levels of luxury.
1.The Delux Karumbha Nest
2.The Premier Karumbha Nest

It was a very warm welcome from the host to set up a very beautiful Cake cutting ceremony for us in front of the Toda Hut with was at a hill top with a small trek in of 15mins, and we had a mini celebration in the midst of a mini jungle and the tea estate.
The view from there was beautiful and mesmerising from there. You can walk the plantations and enjoy the beautiful sunset as well

Weather you are a couple or a bunch of Friends or even a Family with kids, some of the spots are the Heart shaped seater, View point spot where you also can sit and sip chai, Breakfast Lawn with pretty Bonfire huts and a lighted In-house waterfall.
