If you’ve ever dreamt of waking up inside a cloud, hearing birdsong instead of traffic, and sipping hot Nilgiris tea overlooking endless blue mountains, then let me tell you my secret.
After months of researching private villas in Ooty, I finally booked my trip through Hills & Thrills, and the experience was nothing short of magical. I’ve travelled to hill stations across India. Coorg, Manali, Munnar — but nothing comes close to the private luxury villas hidden deep inside the Nilgiris.
This blog is my honest account as a previous traveler, because people deserve to know how breathtaking these stays truly are.
Why I Chose a Private Luxury Villa Instead of a Resort?
I initially considered booking a resort in Ooty, but every place felt too commercial. What I wanted was:
✔️ Privacy
✔️ Scenic views
✔️ A premium “home away from home”
✔️ Personalized service
✔️ A stay that feels “exclusive”
That’s exactly why people book with Hills & Thrills
They don’t just show you stays — they personally curate certified villas premium homestays and private estates across Ooty, Coonoor, Kotagiri & Wellington and these aren’t normal villas, these are Nilgiris hideouts that even most locals don’t know exist.
