We had gone as a family of 5 members, and 2 kids (3 yrs and 6 months). Soon we landed the location and proximity of the place to the reserved forest settled us in. We crossed many resorts notably Bamboo banks, Wildwood haven, etc before we reached chalets. Chalets is the last in the line before the fenced boundaries of the reserved forest closes on you. The forest isn't that dense and for a half a km or so on your west the trees are quite sparse. Coming to the Chalets, they have compact cottages about 6 in no. Each can accommodate an additional bed if need be. There is a Manager, Viju from Palakkad, a helper Vineet, a localite and Moorthy, a cook, native of Nagapattinam, was earlier employed with Hotel Tamilnadu, Mudumalai. Our stay was pleasant but only pain point was lack of timely coordination. Manager Viju was often found cooking Chapatis at Kitchen. Perhaps, at least for weekends,. The management should consider adding more to help with logistics/ kitchen. Also, they have a centralised solar heater, which hardly helps on a cold day. Happen to catch up with the Owner in charge and had told him the concerns. Seems there are already working on these shortcomings and they have some plans for additional landscaping as well. I have requested to set up the place to be more family friendly (those who don't drink/ smoke). As it happens with resorts these days, hardly those who drink/ smoke seems to have any concern for those who don't drink/ smoke. They feel it's their democratic freedom to what they like in common areas. This is another area where Chalets needs can improve by segregating the common areas between those who party and those who just sit quiet enjoying the beautiful nature. On a side note, if you would like to have a transport arranged by Chalets, they don't have much resources, rather for local trips to Ooty/ Mudumalai) you can seek to Bapu a. K. A Vishwanath (speaks Tamil and Kannada equally well) who isn't not just a driver but a honest man and a very resourceful guide. Manager Viju should be able to provide his contact information (not sure I can publish it here without his consent).
