Achieve Zen At This Yoga Retreat Happening At A Gorgeous Bungalow In Anamalai Hills

Local XO, along with Rutland Gate Yoga Studio, have put together a curated yoga retreat set in the heart of the beautiful and picturesque Anamalai hills, Tamil Nadu. It is a three-day getaway to Valparai Hills, that is a part of the Anamalai range {which is a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Coimbatore}. You will need to make arrangements up till Coimbatore and from there you’ll be picked up by the crew.

Once there, you can expect to indulge in Hatha Yoga twice a day while in the heart of the hills with an expert yoga instructor from Rutland Gate for a rejuvenating 75-90 minute session. The retreat is set in a British tea estate, now transformed into  Sinna Dorai’s Bungalow that still follows the finest traditions of the typical plantation life and serves excellent food. It is said to be one of the most picturesque and luxurious places to stay in the Annamalai Hills of Tamil Nadu.

Anyone and everyone who is tired of the busting city life and wishes to unwind and relax in the lap of nature with the help of travel and yoga should sign up right away. The level of yoga practiced at this retreat is sure to cater to all levels of practitioners, be it amateurs or adept practitioners.

Anamalai hills promises untouched beauty and lush greenery as far as the eye can see. Think dense rolling hills, perfect cool weather, picturesque early morning nature walks, rejuvenating yoga sessions with meditation and chanting and sun salutations conducted by a yoga instructor from Rutland Gate. There’s also enough time to be spent on sipping afternoon tea on wide sunny verandahs, starry late night drives, authentic south Indian plantation fare, and a restful night’s sleep in one of the elegant rooms of a classic heritage home.

When: Thursday, November 16 to Sunday, November 19

Where: Sinna Dorai Bungalow, Valparai.
