Ketti – A Relaxing Retreat |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
| |
Soak in the beauty of the mountainside and enjoy life at its slow pace at Ketti - a small village nestled in the Niligiri Mountains of South India. This is a lesser-known locale than the familiar Ooty and Coonoor in the Nilgiri district.
This idyllic spot is a cluster of villages, home to tribes such as the Badagas and the Todas whose chief occupation is rearing of cattle, cultivation of vegetables and tea plantation. |

Breathe in the fresh mountain air, for an invigorating experience, or admire the view of the endless carpets of tea on the mountain slopes. Wake up to the call of the birds and tune yourself to the slow pace of life. Enjoy life, with a difference. |
