The history of modern Ooty begins with the transfer of control over Nilgiris from the hands of Tipu Sultan to English East India Company. This occurred in 1799, after the defeat and death of Sultan, and it changed the destiny of Ooty, now called the queen of hill stations The British company realised the potential of this place as a summer getaway and a fertile high altitude terrain for tea plantation. The British made Ooty their own place, built summer palaces, beautiful cottages, gardens and lived there in the most aristocratic way with their families. When India became independent, they had to leave their favourite place. But they left behind their memories there, along with their exquisite bungalows, mansions and cottages built in European architectural style. And nows our turn to relive their aristocratic life, in a 150 year old British Bungalow, where their memories are still very much alive. British Cliff Club Resort offers you this exclusive opportunity along with a number of other attractions. Though turned to a Resort, even the smallest nuances of British architectural beauty of the Bungalow are preserved as a tribute to history.
