Zhagaram Cottage
A stone house, wrapped in Kodaikanal mistScroll
01 · Arrival
A stone house, wrapped in mist
Zhagaram sits on an elevated ridge in Vilpatti, a British-style stone cottage with a red-tiled roof, often half-hidden in the mist its name promises.
02 · The Valley
Terraced farmland, mountain to mountain
From the garden and the upstairs balcony, the view runs across layered ridgelines and the hamlets scattered through the valley below.
03 · Inside
Warm wood, 1,600 square feet of it
Dark timber floors, a working fireplace, and rich curtained windows frame the living room, a fully-furnished 1,600 sqft interior with a British-colonial feel throughout.
04 · Rest
Two bedrooms, both facing the view
Both upstairs bedrooms open onto the valley through their own balcony: a king room and a queen room, each with an attached bath.
05 · After Dark
A firepit, and the whole valley to yourselves
As night settles over the ridge, the garden firepit is lit and the hamlets below start to glow one by one. Camp fire arranged on request.

“True to the pictures, the villa is beautiful and has the best views of Kodaikanal. Location is tricky but only because it's on the mountain top. Will definitely book it again!”
“A wonderful stay at Zhagaram cottage. The host was very responsive, the amenities were excellent. A special thanks to the caretaker, Vijay Kumar, who ensured all our requirements were taken care of.”
“This place is truly a gem! Mr. Prabhu was incredibly friendly and patiently answered all my questions. Everything about the listing is one-of-a-kind, and the place is impeccably clean and well-kept.”
“The property is really good, peaceful, private and away from the city noise. Prabu was helpful with any queries. The caretaker was available when needed. The kitchen was good, rooms were neat.”

Where you'll be
Vilpatti · 6 km from Kodaikanal lake
An elevated gated community in Vilpatti, surrounded by mountains and terraced farmland. The last 300 m is a steep hairpin climb, best driven in first gear.
6 km from Kodaikanal lake and the main tourist trail, but private and quiet once you're up the hill.
Vilpatti, Kombai and Pallangi are close by for day treks, with off-trail hiking arranged on request.
