On an interesting idea of a "Resort Hopping" vacation, I had been to four of the Nature Resort properties around Connoor and Kotagiri in the Nilgiris...while each of them have its own special charm, there were many wonderful commons...great location, authentic hospitality, superb food, clean rooms, and nice staff. Sleeping Beauty at 2020m offers a panoramic view of Aruvankaru Valley and occasional Nilgiris Heritage train running between Ooty and Conoor. With tea estates around for good walks, this is a must visit. All rooms have balconies and it can get very windy and there is a thoughtful net door for the balcony to enjoy crisp mountain air inside the rooms. The resort is far away from crowded city areas and easily reachable from Ooty-Conoor highway.
