| FEATURE INTRO – This week, Aravinda Anantharaman takes us to Karnataka, India, for a stay in the Nilgiri Mountains at the Sinna Dorais Bungalows on the Kadamane Tea Estate.

Sinna Dorai Bungalows Balance Comfort and Old World Charm – Sinna Dorai is how assistant managers were addressed on turn-of-the-century tea estates: Small manager, that’s what it translates to, suggesting a hands-on level of involvement with garden operations. There are three Sinna Dorai bungalows at the Kadamane Tea Estate, located high in the Nilgiri Mountains in Karnataka, India, about 250 kilometers west of Bengaluru. Kadamane was planted nearly a century ago; its bungalows are old, charming, and well-preserved. The interiors have been tastefully restored. The rooms are modern and comfortable but have retained that old-world charm, and that’s a delicate balance. The estate offers a glimpse into a way of life that is no longer relevant but reveals a vibrant, fascinating history worth recording and preserving. There’s no restaurant, just a kitchen and a dining room where you go for mealtimes like the Sinna Dorias, sharing hearty meals made with local produce and delicious bread. The vistas are boundless, and the forest streams are lovely to explore. It is a perfect stop, a great example of tea tourism done right because it’s indulgent without being excessive. - Aravinda Anantharaman
