Jade Hills - Coorg
|
|
|
|
|
| Perched high on top of a hill, amidst verdant
forest slopes, Jade Hills is the perfect getaway from the city.
Commanding unparalleled views of the surrounding hills &
countryside, there is not another building in sight to obstruct
your view.
The cottages, designed by the architect-owners, are unique
'new-old' buildings. Lovingly built (out of burnt orange laterite
blocks) using doors, windows and pillars, salvaged from traditional
Coorg houses, the cottage offers snug rooms with fantastic
views from every aspect, including the bathrooms! The bathroom
is an experience by itself, with its partly open-to-sky ceiling
and private garden. The house was also recently featured in
the Indian Express paper for its unique style and sensitivity
to local culture and traditions.
Nearby, the surrounding slopes & valleys opens up with
great trekking trails, indigenous birds, natural streams,
fragrant cardamom gardens and varied vegetation. Sit in the
'ambala' or gazebo, with a cup of tea, watching the sunset
& you can rediscover the joys of living in the very lap
of nature.
