For those who really want to get away from it all, this property hidden in the hills is quite perfect. A set of log rooms on stilts in the spice and coffee plantation that belongs to the charming Apparanda family, it&rsquos quite the best way to experience Coorg. Home-cooked meals eaten with the family next door, with juice, fruit and coffee fresh off the farm, leave you sated. Don&rsquot ask for television, room service or glamour. Instead, soak in the walks and views in total peace, or visit the quaint Padi Igutappa temple. The 17th-century Nalnad Palace is a walk away while Tadiyandamol peak (Coorg&rsquos highest) asks to be climbed. A little visitor-created library gives you all the books you want.
