Evolve Back Coorg

About the experience

The lush green hills and vast coffee plantations are two things that come to mind when we think of the famous hill station of Coorg. The pleasant weather, ever-rolling hills, cascading waterfalls, and towering peaks are just some of the reasons why Coorg has often been referred to as the ‘Scotland of India’. However, your trip to this lovely hillside won't be lacking any of the modern luxuries you may get at other destinations.  

The Evolve Back Chikkanna Halli Estate is a 300-acre plantation luxury resort filled with the aromas of coffee and spice. Step into the bygone culture of the Gentleman Planter and bear witness to rustic yet elegant bungalows set amid the vast plantation. Surrounded by green sights and fresh air, the resort offers you the perfect opportunity to relax and rejuvenate after a stressful weekend.  

Spend the day venturing across the vast plantation, coming across some dazzling flora and spotting the local birds fluttering through the air. Enjoy an evening coracle ride followed by a visit to the resort ayurvedic spa, guaranteed to put your mind and body at ease. Take a dip in the cool blue waters of the pool and work up an appetite for the tantalizing delicacies served in the restaurant. As the sun sets over this enchanting hillside, the sky lights up in spectacular shades of red and orange before finally giving in to the millions of twinkling stars overhead. 

So, sit back and let the spirit of the land calm your mind and help you rediscover your love of nature.
