Accommodation.

We stayed for 1 night in Rio Meridian Mysore, 3 nights in Zostel Ooty, 1 night in Sunvalley Homestay Coonoor, 1 Night in Den by trees Kotagiri and 1 Night in Dwara Resort Coimbatore.

Rio Meridian Mysore range in between INR 2000 – 3000 per room (with breakfast), a Zostel bunk bed range in between INR 700 – 800 per person, Sunvalley Homestay range in between INR 4500 – 5000 per room (with breakfast), Den by trees in between INR 3000 – 4000 per room and Dvara Resort in between INR 7000 – 9000 per room (with breakfast) depending on the season.

So, for 8 days 7 nights trip, expect to spend around INR 20000 – 25000 (for two people) on accommodation if you choose yours stays in similar range.

If you are on budget, you can book your stays online in the range of INR 2000 – INR 3000 per day or even less. For good price of a property, pre-book your stays at least 2 months in advance.

One pro tip from 2itchyfeets is to call the properties for their best prices and then book with them.

You can hire a taxi or rent a car (if you love driving) for this road trip. We rented a Zoomcar from Bangalore for our 8 days 7 nights trip. As we were travelling with a couple, renting a car was not only comfortable but also saved us a few bucks.

Renting a zoom car cost us INR 900 per day (per car) excluding fuel. Fuel for 8 days cost us INR 4000 (per car). Also, Zoomcar runs offers many times a year, so it will be more economical if you grab one such offer.

Expect to spend around INR 11000 – 12000 per car for 8 days 7 nights if you rent a zoom car.

If you are on a budget, you can easily get local food (Idli, Dosa, Vada) for INR 100 – 150 per person at anywhere in Nilgiris. And if you are a foodie and love exploring cafes/ restaurants, expect to spend around INR 800 – 1000 per meal for two people.

The staffs were courteous. They provideo complimentary breakfast and milk for my 3 year old. The rooms are not much spacious. May be the type of room we chose was not good enough. Room service is good. Cleanliness could be improved, towels not as clean as it should have been. Restaurant services were good. Food was tasty but felt it was costlier. Overall it was an enjoyable stay.

Everything about this place is great. It has a fantastic view of the valley. The rooms are clean, homely (the staff told me the hotel was actually a British home over a hundred years back) and cozy. The management is friendly and helpful. I was a single woman travelling alone and I felt very safe and comfortable. I'm definitely going back to this hotel on my next stay at Lovedale. I recommend this to anyone who wants a peaceful stay there.

The Lawrence School - Lovedale

Estd. 1858

To nurture the conscience and intellect of every student and staff member in a caring and inspiring environment.

About The Lawrence School

‘The Lawrence Asylum’ was built as a memorial to Major General Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence, CB, BT, LT.COL., ADC to Queen Victoria, KCB, who early in 1856, offered a sum of Rs.5,000 down and Rs.1,000 per annum if action were taken to found, at some Madras hill-station, an Asylum similar to those already established at Sanawar and Mount Abu. In February of 1856, a Meeting was held in Ootacamund to make every effort to carry out the project. From the beginning, difficulty arose as to the religious principles to be inculcated at the Institution. However, a prospectus for ‘The Ootacamund Asylum for the Orphans and other children of European soldiers in India’, on a strictly Protestant basis, was issued. A Committee was formed with the Bishop of Madras, Rt. Rev. Thomas Dealtry as its President.

The Committee then sought the aid of the Government, but the latter said that their action would depend on the support received from the Army. It must be noted that the Commander-in-chief objected to the restriction tion of ......

The Lawrence School, Lovedale, nestled in the picturesque Nilgiris, has a rich and long history that spans from colonial times to modern-day India. Established in 1858, during British rule, the school was initially founded to provide education for the children of British soldiers. Over the years, the school evolved and expanded its scope to include all students.

During the colonial era, the Lawrence School, Lovedale, served as a prestigious institution, offering a British-style education to its students. The school's serene and sprawling campus spread across 710 acres of forested land, provided an ideal setting for holistic all-round development. Post-independence, the school adapted to the changing times and continued to uphold its reputation for excellence in education. It embraced a more inclusive approach, welcoming students from diverse backgrounds and nationalities. The curriculum was modernized to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving India, while still preserving the school's core values of discipline, integrity, and academic rigour. ......

Junior School Evening - PANACHE 2023

The Lawrence School, Lovedale prides itself on being a 'Plastic Free' zone. Use of plastic is judiciously curtailed at all times and periodically teachers and students participate in cleanliness drives in and around the campus to rid the area of plastic waste.

Moreover, with the recent guidelines received from the Government of Tamilnadu, this initiative will be further taken up on a war footing. Therefore parents, former students and visitors are requested to refrain from bringing any plastic material (food packets, water bottles, soft drink bottles etc) with them when they come in to School.

Please join us in our efforts to make Lovedale and ultimately the Nilgiris a healthy, plastic - free region.
