Perched on top of a tea estate in Coonoor, this home stay is perfect for visitors looking for privacy and an intimate getaway. It has only two furnished rooms, surrounded by a landscaped garden that compliments the picturesque tea estates all around. It is managed by a family-run venture called Tranquiltea, and tea is central to the holidaying experience. Guests can take a tour of the tea estate and attend a tea tasting session at the tea lounge. Guided by the owner, the tea tasting session introduces visitors to the region’s finest teas and is accompanied by snacks. Other activities include treks, forest walks, and a visit to the nearby village. Fresh, home-cooked fare is served in the rooms, and local Badaga cuisine is available on request.
