Overview
When you step into the portals of Orange County, Coorg, you leave one world behind, and step seamlessly into another: the bygone era of the Gentleman Planter, ensconced in the cocooned comforts of a lush plantation paradise, perfumed with the subtly intoxicating aroma of coffee and spice.
Bordered by the legendary river Cauvery, and surrounded by virginal forests, this 300 acre working plantation resort perched at a height of 800m, gives you the most luxurious introduction yet, into the deepest secrets of this mystic mountain.

Dining
Soul food finds body and spirit to seduce your palate in three awesome temples to the culinary arts.
For starters, we discover the way to a man's heart is through the portals of the generously stocked Granary, an indulgent ode to the good life as lived by the gentleman planters of a bygone era. Thrift and moderation are words conspicuous by their absence and this restaurant is all about abundance, be it the gourmet continental spread or the Indian repast, with a strong Kodava flavor finding expression in the signature Pandi Curry (spiced curried pork) and other gems from the ethnic melting pot.
The Peppercorn, a speciality restaurant, pays homage to the humble Kebabs and Grills, and serves up unlimited platters of their finest specimens in a serene setting overlooking the private lake.
Fine dining for vegetarians comes of age in the Plantain Leaf, which is set amidst verdant coffee and spice plantations and serves an array of North and South Indian vegetarian delicacies.
Facilities
Pools Take the plunge into our Communal Swimming Pool that beckons you with its clear azure waters in a scenic location. The pool is ideal to laze around in with your family, as it also has special child-safe zones so you can take a lap or two without worrying about your toddler. Or, if you'd prefer a child-free zone to commune privately with your significant other half, or contemplate the ways of the universe in a serene setting, sneak away to the exclusive Infinity Pool that borders the plantation and the Dubare Reserve Forest.
Coffee Lounge A lounge on stilts, overlooking lush paddy fields and the coffee and spice plantation, this is one of the delicious ironies of a holiday here. A setting so serene, it'll lull you to sleep. Yet, irrigated by endless cups of the house brand, Sidapur, your senses will be fully awakened and alive to the endless possibilities here. The best way to deal with it is to pick up one of the coffee table books from our library, order a cappuccino, spread out on your favourite chair, and alternate between periods of active observation and restful bliss.
Vaidyasala Experience rebirth at the Vaidyasala, our ayurvedic spa that harnesses the ancient secrets of the world's oldest healing system, to rejuvenate, regenerate and revitalize you. With expert masseurs and masseuses to infuse your body with new vigour. And experienced physicians to prescribe a customized regimen to suit your constitution. With herbal baths, delicious natural diets, oil treatments, age retardation therapies...all amidst a soothing, tranquil natural environment that promotes wellness of body, mind and spirit.
Activities
While the resort is an oasis of tranquility, there are myriad treasures hidden in every nook and cranny of Coorg. Orange County hosts a range of activities, themed around Coorg’s unique geography and culture, that are designed to get you out, to explore your environment, both within and outside the resort, and come back richer for the experience.
Plantation Tour Take a guided tour of the 300 acre working coffee and spice plantation on foot. Learn first hand the difference between an Arabica and Robusta, discover how the Malabar blend got 'monsooned', and explore the spice scented pathways of Orange County to slip into the spirit of the land.
Nature Walk Coorg also presents the perfect weather and opportunity to discover the naturalist in you. Go trekking in the adjoining Dubare Reserve Forest with a guide. Learn all about the birds and the beasts, and understand how each tree has a story to tell. Listen to jungle lore under a canopy of multi-hued green, and come back with a greater knowledge of the forest system and a higher sensitivity to the eco system.
Bird Watching Coorg is an ornithologist's delight. And is every bit as entertaining and enlightening for the amateur birdwatcher too. Consider how Coorg alone accounts for over 25% of all bird species in India, and you get an idea of why birding at Coorg is so popular.
Coracle ride on River Cauvery Coracles are local fishing crafts that are circular and ideal for navigating these waters. The coracle ride on the river not only helps you to gauge the myriad moods of the river, but also gives you a fish-eye view of the surrounding forest and the habitation, and allows you to be a small part of the ebb and flow of riverine life.
Activity Centre for Children While the entire resort is geared to address the holiday requirements of adults, an exclusive Children's Activity Centre has been created for the accompanying children. A Table Tennis table has been provided in addition to board games such as Carrom, Chess, Pictonary, etc to keep the children occupied while the parents enjoy their peace and quiet.
Village Visit The environs surrounding the resort in Coorg hold some hidden natural delights and social experiences waiting to be uncovered. Join the naturalist early morning on a cycle trail or for a walk to discover these salient spots that lie just outside the resort. The eventual destination in both cases is the quaint riverside tea shop where you can catch your breath and observe the rhythms of local life as you sit on the bank of the Cauvery sipping Muhammad Ali's special teas.
