This young couple hail from the ancient and proud Badaga race, one of the oldest tribes of Ooty. Ravi and Bobby have a fascinating knowledge of the Badaga culture, cuisine and traditions. It is their dream to build a modern Badaga village in the not too distant future. Ravi runs his own business and Bobby is a home maker.

Two completely separate fully furnished two bedroom apartments, all bedrooms with bath attached offer complete privacy. Each apartment has its own lounge, dining area and kitchen. A regular home away from home. A verandah runs right around the floor providing a relaxing sit out offers some impressive views.Ravi and Bobby love to entertain and take great pride in showing their guests around Ooty. Bobby is a wonderful cook. Guests are highly encouraged to sample her unique Badaga cuisine.One of the strong points of 'Aarani' is its location. A mere five minute drive from the main Ooty town, Aarani is just off the Kotagiri Road. Owing to the strategic location of this place, Aarani is surrounded by many up and coming sites.
