Southern India
Taj Savoy Hotel
The Taj Savoy Hotel, one of the prestigious Taj hotels group, is blissfully situated on a hill amidst the sprawling Niilgiri mountain range. Built between 1834 and 1865, the quaint cottage-style building is redolent of the British colonial era. Set in six acres of lush floral gardens, the hotel is a great place to relax and unwind, and take in the natural beauty of the Ooty region.
The hotel’s Dining Hall restaurant serves authentic home-style Indian delicacies, whilst the Active Studio offers healthy, nutritionally balanced meals, and the Quick Fills menu guarantees food is ready in 15 minutes or under – perfect for those with busy itineraries.
Facilities
Internet access, laptops and printers for hire, Ayurvedic spa centre, nature trails, snooker table, car hire, horse riding, call-out doctor, fitness centre, board games, badminton, table tennis, cycling, trampoline, cricket, volleyball, basketball, yoga and karaoke.
Optional Activities
Take a boat trip on Ooty Lake, drive or climb up Doddabetta Peak – the highest point of the Nilgiris, visit the award winning rose garden or Government Botanical Gardens, look around the Tribal Research Centre Museum or St. Stephen’s Church. There are also many great shopping destinations in town, including lovely chocolate shops, tea shops and local craft markets.

Despite flight delays we were warmly welcomed and had efficient transitions in India. In the UK, you couldn’t have been more helpful – “above and beyond” at all points of contact. Thankyou!
[Our experience of the Snow leopard group tour] Is hard to put into words! No genuine expectation of seeing snow leopards – just hopeful, but to see two shortly after arriving at Uley was outstanding. They were so beautiful. Also saw wolves, Tibetan fox, eagles, ibex and lots of urials.
