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
3.The Luxury Karumbha Nest
4.The Royal Toda 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
The Green Nest Resort has put up cute little Photo spots all over the property which will make you smile. 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.
It’s been quite a busy year and with being a blogger and trying to manage my day job, I have completely been stressed and over worked. I have been craving for a vacation all along. So, my dear friend reached out to me if I want to go and visit this Indus Valley Ayurvedic Center in Mysore. I was super excited and needed a break from me busy being busy. I jumped the wagon and was super elated to be taken away from the hustle bustle of the city into the tranquility of nature.
Some Days after having worked for long hours, I just drop dead on the bed. These days are becoming more frequent. I have been working hard at the office, then creating content for my instagram. In the midst of it all, I look dull, tired and haggard most of the times.

Monsoon has arrived. Monsoon spells doom for the skin. Rubbery, Leathery skin, already sweaty and sticky because of the summers, becomes patchy, lifeless, dull and just makes you look sullen. Combine this with hormonal changes, chemical product use and the use of masks, our skin is crying for our help.
While we already know the bad, the good is that we can transform our skin into healthy and radiant skin with the use of natural skincare products and home remedies.
My grandmother always told me that the secret to healthy and radiant skin always lies with mother nature. It is mother nature who knows best. Somewhere as we grow up we tend to forget their wise words. Something similar happened to me too. My life became hectic as I grew up. The time for home care for my skin and decreased further. I started trying to replicate the goodness I got from natural products with chemical products. How wrong was I. I started to lose hope until I discovered CBD oil.
