The Kurumba Village Resort is a rare aromatic arena; far from spicing with mere words, they have established the fifteen self-sufficing cottages amidst a spice haven where nutmeg, cloves and pepper abound. These spice trees were originally introduced to the Nilgiris by the English. They have consciously enriched the "spice sanctuary" with other enchanting trees such as Jacaranda and Spathodia. They already have the uniquely interesting Jackfruit trees and the soaring and sturdy Rosewood trees.

The name of the Resort simply reflects their desire to retain whatever is available of their ancient heritage. One of the five ancient tribes of the Nilgiris (Todas, Kothas, Kurumbas, Irulas and Badagas), the Kurumbas were (and are) closest in being in tune with the beauties as well as rigors of nature. Their deep appreciation of the meticulousness with which their architect has mingled the idyllic and pristine qualities of an ancient land with ultra modern amenities into a perfectly pleasurable blend has to be recorded at this juncture.

The invigoratingly clean air of the Kurumba Village Resort is to be breathed to be believed! 

The Cottages are airy and exotic with their Kurumba-tribal-styled thatched cottages, which are, pyramid shaped and bright interiors with pristine color and thatch-work roofs. Every room has its exclusive balcony with ornamental railings made of areca-nut wood. There are king size beds surrounded by intriguing Kurumba artifacts and painting, on the arches and walls.

In a large Restaurant with 30-feet-tall thatched roof and enticing ceiling, we serve a multi-cuisine spread. There are expert chefs and amiable staff to suit your gourmet's delight.

The dreamland is situated adjacent to the ghat road between Ooty and Mettuppalayam at the area known as Upper Burliar. The resort could be reached also by one of the most romantic of vehicles: The Nilgiri Mountain Train except that you reach Coonoor and travel by road for 12 kms. According to the Discovery Channel the Nilgiri Mountain Railway is on the steepest track. And till Mettuppalayam you could reach by the Blue Mountain (The Nilgiri) Express on a broad gauge train; From the bottom of the hill upto Ooty it is by the Mountain Railway and the Cog Wheel till Coonoor; To watch the chugging of the train is one of the most romantic experiences. The quaint little stations with such old British names as Runnymede Aderley and hill grove are still there to charm you.
