Cursed only in this regard - of having to think twice about going on rough stone/mud roads . You'll have to admit, the NCT5s were relatively like SUV tyres ready to go anywhere, at least psychologically, hehe.

My suggestion is either Sherlock or Taj Savoy. I have stayed in Sherlock a couple of times, and the place is great. However, I am not too sure about the approach road. The approach road conditions keep changing over time (I have once seen a terrible approach road and another time a good approach road).

Better safe than sorry, so opting for Taj Savoy. Dropped in at Taj Sales @ West End and these are the rates mailed:

"Greetings from the Taj!!

It was a pleasure meeting you in our office.

As discussed, we are pleased to offer the following at Savoy Hotel, Ooty for the requested dates :

Check in – 6th July 2013
Check out – 7th July 2013
No. of rooms 08

Option – I
Rate – Rs.4000 per room per night (single occupancy)
Rs.4500 per room per night (double occupancy))
Inclusives
Accommodation
Taxes

Option – II
Rate – Rs.4500 per room per night (single occupancy)
Rs.5000 per room per night (double occupancy)
Inclusives
Accommodation
Buffet breakfast at the coffee shop
Taxes

Option – III
Rate – Rs.6000 per room per night (single occupancy)
Rs.6500 per room per night (double occupancy
Inclusives
Accommodation
Buffet breakfast and one meal at the coffee shop
Taxes"

8 rooms blocked tentatively.

In case confirmed participants can get even more competitive rates @ the Savoy itself or at equivalent accommodation please feel free to post/pm me for making amendments, if any.

Even though it's off season, one can never predict when a hotel gets sold out and hence, as a matter of abundant caution, have insured that contingency for our dates.

Awaiting respective participant's choice of option by the 23.06.13 to confirm to the hotel.

Cheers

He is a "Newbie", hence the message will be displayed only after the approval from the moderator.

By the way, this plan sounds nice but unfortunately I will not be able to join due to other commitments on 6th July.

This option looks good to me. I am all OK for this option. If others are also OK with this, we can go ahead with this option.

Thanks RSUDARSANAN for working on the hotel bookings :-)

I'm confused. What dates are we looking at?

I might be joining in, but undecided as of now due to work schedules.

Will add myself to the list once the dates are clear.

P.S. Is this a family event or a single's night out? :P
