The Hills

The Hills is a ten cottage resort, nestled in the foothills of the Western Ghats brings to life all the images of tall mountains, touching clouds and lush greenery.

As we hear the name Western ghats, the things that comes to mind are images of tall mountains enveloped in mist, the clouds hanging at touching distance, vast tracts of greenery, with hardly a soul to be seen, endless expanse of coffee estates, a century old temple on the top of a mountain,  lonely sheep enjoying the grass in the warm sunlight. A visit to The Hills brings all this alive.
