Where it sits
The resort is at Pothamedu, 2.5 km from the centre of Munnar. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, in South Kerala. The destination is Munnar, hills country that runs from 1,500 to 2,695 m, where tea is grown 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.
The altitude shapes the weather. It frosts here by morning in January, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive and closes for calving in February and March. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk.
Who it suits
This suits people who want a hill base with food, drink and indoor distractions on site, and who are happy to be 2.5 km from the centre of Munnar rather than in it. It does not suit travellers who want to step out of the door into town, or anyone set on the hills in the monsoon months, when the cloud closes in and landslip risk rises.
When to plan a stay
September to May is the season here. January mornings frost, which is worth knowing before packing. Eravikulam closes for calving in February and March, so plan around that if the park is the point of the trip. The heavy monsoon months are best avoided because of closed-in cloud and landslip risk.
