Regency Villas Palace, Ooty
Regency Villas Palace, situated in the Fernhill Palace premises, is spread over 15 acres with breathtaking views of the valleys. Fireplaces in the suites add to the old world charm of Regency Villas.
Short excursions around Ooty offer many opportunities to explore the Nilgiris on foot. There are scenic trails in the grasslands around Mukurthi, an extinct volcano known to the Todas as the ‘Gateway to the Dead’, and in the windswept Avalanche region, which consists of rolling, grassy downs, shola trees and rhododendrons.
