It started with a search for the "Old Kodaikanal."

We wanted to find the version of Kodaikanal that exists in memories—the one without traffic jams, without honking cars, and without the rush. We wanted a place where the mist still rules the valley and the air smells of fresh pine.

Our search led us away from the crowded Lake, winding through the forest roads until we reached Vilpatti Village. Here, at the quiet Anbu Bus Stop, we found what we were looking for: Silence.

We didn't just build a hotel; we built a home. When we designed RK Residency, we made a specific choice. We didn't want guests to be locked away in separate rooms. We wanted families to laugh together.

That is why the heart of our home is the massive 23-foot Living Hall. It was built for those late-night conversations that last until sunrise, for families sitting in a circle playing games, and for friends sharing a meal like they used to in the old days.

Life in the Hidden Valley Staying with us isn't about luxury; it’s about connection. It’s about waking up to the view of emerald step-farms right outside your window. It’s about taking a short, magical 15-minute walk to the Pallangi Falls—a secret spot that most tourists never find.

At RK Residency, you are not just a room number. You are a guest in our home in the clouds.

Come, let us show you the peaceful side of the hills.
