ABOUT US

When life becomes mundane, we all need to take a break.

If you want to take a step back & relax, why not do it in an environment that embodies tranquility? The Western Ghats have always attracted people from all over the world; some visitors come here to explore the rich flora & fauna, while others want an escape from the daily hustle.

 

Nestled in the lap of the Nilgiri Mountains, Chow Chow Valley Resort is the perfect getaway to de-stress from the hectic schedule of day-to-day life.

We started out with a vision to provide travelers with a holistic experience of life in the mountains. Over a period of time, it has evolved into a much more elaborate offering. Since no two travelers have similar tastes, we’ve designed a campus that caters to the needs of varied audiences.

 

Spread across a sprawling 10.5 acres right at the heart of Kotagiri, Chow Chow is perched right atop the valley. Offering a stunning bird’s-eye-view of the countryside, you are bound to feel overwhelmed by the pristine beauty.

 

Chow Chow derives its name from the ‘Chow Chow’ vegetable, also known as Chayote or Bangalore Brinjal. A part of the gourd family Cucurbitaceae, it is rich in water content akin to cucumbers & watermelons. Commonly referred to as ‘Maerakkai’ down South, it’s commonly used in pickles & salads, adding a new flavor to stimulate your taste buds. Over 7 acres of the resort have been allocated for growing the vegetable. Surrounded otherwise by tea estates, experiencing the plantation is a unique affair.

With multiple natural-water springs running through the estate, we’ve managed to harness natural resources in an eco-friendly way. We utilize the water for drinking & domestic purposes, while the rest of it is either stored locally or channelled for irrigation. We also have an internal reservoir that doubles up as a pond for the adventurous. You can also go in for natural aqua spa, as the reservoir is replenished with fishes. Throughout the campus, you’ll find lush green lawns lined with colorful saplings that serve as eye candy. We have an in-house team who are committed to assist you during your stay with us. Do check out the accommodations we have on offer; we have multiple categories that suits every requirement.

Amenities & Accessibility

Kotagiri being a town where all of the residents depend on natural ventilation, it comes without saying that the primary concern for travelers will be regarding the availability of hot water. Since Chow Chow is surrounded by natural water bodies, we’ve managed to efficiently store, manage, & process water for multiple purposes. All of our rooms are equipped with electric geysers, thereby ensuring you have a consistent supply. The bathrooms are have a Chow Chow theme to them; they’ve been well-received by our guests, & was the outcome of a creative effort by our team

At the heart of the resort, we’ve constructed our dining facility for guests. It acts as a place where everyone can get together to meet & greet. It can accommodate upto 12 guests at a time, & we’ve built it right next to the kitchen so that it becomes very easy for our staff to be on call should you need anything. We built it overlooking the pond; you can step out on the deck to take in the view of the estates, while the pathway lined with pretty lights illuminates the entire resort at dusk. It is one of the highlights of Chow Chow. Guests are able to spot the property from afar, as the resort is completely isolated from the main area.

We were serious when we mentioned having something for everyone! A party hall is a must have for us, as guests who stay with us visit Chow Chow on special occasions such as a birthday party or a corporate team outing. The hall can double up as 2 individual meeting rooms, or as a single hall with a threshold of accommodating a group ranging anywhere between 50-100. We find that a lot of our guests who access the party hall use it during corporate events. If you wish to pause cherished moments with your loved ones, Chow Chow can make it happen!

Chow Chow Valley Resort is located approximately kms away from Kotagiri’s  junction. Despite its proximity to the main town, help can take some time to arrive in case of an emergency. We put the safety of our guests as our top priority, & have an on-call doctor with us who is just minutes away should the need arise.

What started out as a reservoir for water has evolved into a favorite for all our guests. While we don’t recommend guests to allow children near the pool, adults can enjoy taking a dip in the rather chilly water. The pool is around 12 feet deep, & brimming with fishes. This is the perfect cue to bring your GoPro when you visit! We’ve installed safety measures all around, so you don’t have to worry about children wandering anywhere near.

Our in-house chef has garnered a name for himself over a period of time, offering guests a wide range of options to choose from. Chow Chow has something on offer for everyone, & we’re known to stimulate your taste buds. Our personal offering for guests as soon as they arrive is the Chow Chow salad; rich in water content, it tastes best when it’s consumed with a spice. It is also our way to make you feel at home upon arrival. During your stay with us, you’ll have access to the entire plantation, & we’d be delighted to show you around.

Chow Chow Valley Resort has steadily gained popularity among travelers for the diversity & options that are offered to the customers. Given our eye for detail, we made sure that we did something subtle yet amazing with our rooms. All rooms have been constructed with a special type of wood that keeps the indoors insulated even while the outdoors are freezing. You will notice a significant drop in temperature as you step inside after an evening walk. This will give you the much needed coziness that will aid you in getting a good night’s sleep.

We at Chow Chow have taken immense care to ensure that your safety & security is not compromised at any point. As a basic measure, our estate is heavily guarded with fences. We also have 24/7 security guards as a part of our team to fortify the property against any animals that may wander from their natural habitat. We’ve stressed immensely on security so that our guests can go on an adventure without any risk to their safety.

Our team of staff is committed to ensuring that guests have a comfortable stay, & have complete access to all our facilities. Health & hygiene are always a major concern; Chow Chow employs quality metrics to make sure that the standards are always high when it comes to cleanliness.

Life without friends and family, & a trip to the mountains without a bonfire are completely futile! Chow Chow has a vast campus, & can accommodate a large group of people. During ideation, we realized that a night of music & masti by the bonfire are best when they’re a secluded & private experience. One thing lead to another, & we decided to have 3 separate bonfires that would be spread out across the grounds.
