Blue Mountains, Australia

Blue Mountains, Australia

From a distance the eucalypt forests that cover the Blue Mountains near Sydney in New South Wales, take on an intense blue haze that gives the region its name. The blue haze is due to an optical phenomenon called 'Rayleigh Scattering'. In this World Heritage Area, you can see natural attractions like the Three Sisters - a trio of rocky pinnacles named after an aboriginal legend, the underground rivers and chambers of Jenolan Caves, the historic Six Foot Track to Katoomba, the world’s steepest railway at Scenic World and Waradah a vibrant community of indigenous artists.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Periyar Tiger Reserve was the hunting ground of the Travancore kings. Inside the reserve was a palace - the Edapalayam Lake Palace - meant for the guests of the royal family. In 1899, the area was declared as a forest reserve called the Periyar Lake Reserve with the main intention of protecting the hunting area of the kings  from the encroachment of tea plantations.

In 1934, the lake reserve was converted into a game sanctuary, the Nellikkampatty Game Sanctuary, on the recommendation of S. C. H. Robinson, the first game warden. In 1978, the sanctuary was included in the Central Government initiative known as Project Tiger and was renamed the Periyar Tiger Reserve.

Every part of the hotel is handmade, from the massive hand-carved wooden beams to the seemingly endless designs of the colorful, hand-painted ceilings and walls. To complete the experience, the hotel offers its guests Buddhist meditation classes taught by accomplished monks at its own Samden meditation house.
