A boutique tea-estate homestay · Nilgiris

Come up
for air.

Aura Hillaxation is a small bungalow among the tea gardens of Kattabettu, near Kotagiri — where misty mornings, endless mountain views and a fresh pot of Nilgiri tea are the whole itinerary.

The Hillaxation philosophy

Travel should refresh the soul, not just the body.

Somewhere between the last hairpin bend and the first cup of tea, the city loosens its grip. That's the moment Aura Hillaxation was built around.

Nestled in the quiet village of Kattabettu, the bungalow sits in the middle of sprawling tea estates with mountain views that never quite end. Wake to the fragrance of fresh Nilgiri leaf, spend the afternoon walking rows of green, and let a bonfire and a clear sky close the day. No lobby, no rush — just a homely, unhurried kind of luxury.

We call it Hillaxation: the balance of hill-station calm and true relaxation. It's cared for, day to day, by Pushpakka Vimana Voyages, so the welcome — and the travel help — comes from people who know these hills well.
