Hullatti, our home

Glyngarth is in a small hamlet named Hullatti overlooking, the blue mountains and the valley. The resort is surrounded by the forested Niligiris mountains. The blue eucalyptus trees around freshen the air and give the area it’s famous name — the blue mountains. As you eat your breakfast your eyes can roam over wild fields of golden coloured everlasting flowers. Or the clouds playing hide and seek with the sun.

We are located about 200 meters from the reserve forest, with a lot of wildlife seen around the resort. Don’t be surprised if you are woken by the twittering of Bulbuls or a Yellow Wagtail marching around the edge of the pool, as Glyngarth is a haven for bird watchers.
