A three star hotel 200 m from the centre of Munnar, about 5 minutes on foot, in Idukki district. Breakfast, restaurant, WiFi, free parking and a garden are among what it lists, with a guest score of 4.6 out of 5 from 995 reviews. The walk to town decides it: good for anyone wanting Munnar on foot, less so for those wanting to be away from it.
What Deep Woods Resort offers
Deep Woods Resort is a three star property, and the guest score on file is 4.6 out of 5 from 995 reviews, which is unusually high for the category. The facilities listed are the practical kind. Breakfast and a restaurant cover the first and last meals of the day, a garden and a picnic area give somewhere to sit outside, and WiFi, laundry, luggage storage, concierge and free parking handle the logistics of arriving and settling in.
A shuttle service is listed, useful for reaching trailheads or the tea country beyond town, and worth asking about before committing to a day out. Guests weighing the review count against the star rating should read the 4.6 as coming from a large and consistent body of stays rather than a small sample.
Where it sits in Munnar
The address is Near Letchmi Tea Estate Mankulam Road, Munnar, in Idukki district, in South Kerala. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and the hotel is 200 m from the centre of Munnar, about 5 minutes on foot. That puts the shops and the bus stand close enough to walk, which matters in a hill town where parking fills early.
The destination is hills, standing between 1,500 and 2,695 m. Tea grows from 1,500 metres up to the grassland, laid over hills the Scots planted in the 1880s, and Anamudi, the highest point in India south of the Himalaya, sits on the eastern edge at 2,695 metres. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive away, and the estate roads are the best walking in the state.
Who it suits and who it does not
Deep Woods Resort suits travellers who want Munnar on foot, with breakfast and a restaurant on site and a garden to come back to, and who will use the town as a base for the hills. It does not suit anyone hoping for a quiet retreat well outside the centre, because the centre is 5 minutes away, or anyone wanting a higher star rating or more than the listed facilities.
When to plan a stay
September to May is the season. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive and closes for calving in February and March, so check those dates before booking if the park is the point of the trip. January mornings frost here, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk.
