Coorg Tourism - Skanda Plantation Resorts

Skanda Plantation Resorts

Kodagu as it was known before the British Raj and now called Coorg is a beautiful hill country situated at a height of 3000 to 5000 feet above sea level. Called the “Scotland of India” and the “Kashmir of the South”, the beauty of its verdant valleys, green luxuriant forests, emerald rice fields and lush coffee and pepper plantations is breathtaking.

Here on the edge of the world famous Nagarhole wild life sanctuary, located on 300 acres of coffee plantation lies a sprawling and spacious many bedroom estate home. Established over a century ago by Maneyapanda Nachiah, it is now converted into a luxurious home stay called the “Skanda Homestay ” and is a perfect mix of modern comfort and charm reminiscent of the old Plantation lifestyle. It retains the character of its original structure and is designed for the traveler who wants to experience the same. This estate home has played host to distinguished guests like Lord Baden Powell, Acharya Vinobha Bhave, John Galbraith and Pearl S Buck, to name a few
