Mysore: Regenta Central Javaji (nights 1-2)







Begin your adventure at the Regenta Central Javaji, a contemporary hotel in the centre of Mysore. Enjoy tasty multi-cuisine dishes at Verve, their main restaurant, or sip unique cocktails next to the pool at the rooftop bar, Sky High. After a day of adventure, treat yourself to a relaxing spa session to recharge.

Tucked into the forest, this peaceful resort feels away from it all, while still being well located for our explorations in Coorg.

For more relaxation, gather with the group in the Hunters Lounge, where you can sip fine wines and whiskies with views over the hills.



Wayanad: Vythiri Resort (nights 5-6)







Set within a vast tropical rainforest, Vythiri Resort offers a special connection with nature. That starts in your accommodation: a cottage-style villa with a forest-view balcony (plus it has a temperature-controlled jacuzzi-style tub!). During your stay, you can also join nature walks led by the in-house naturalist or a chef-led cooking demonstration for an expert insight into the local cuisine.



Ooty: Taj Savoy (nights 7-8)







The Savoy heritage hotel (established in 1829) offers a Colonial-era experience with afternoon tea, croquet on the lawns, and fireplaces.
