Where the hotel sits
Falling Waters stands on Kallar Mangulam Road, 9 km from the centre of Munnar. It is outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district, in South Kerala. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and it is the destination here. No guest score is on file for Munnar itself, but the hotel has one.
Munnar sits in the hills at 1,500 to 2,695 m. Tea grows from 1,500 metres up to the grassland, laid over hills the Scots planted in the 1880s. Anamudi, the highest point in India south of the Himalaya, sits on the eastern edge at 2,695 metres. From the hotel it is 9 km to the middle of town. That distance is the one fixed measure of the setting.
Who it suits and who it does not
Falling Waters suits travellers who want space and activities around them, who value a garden, courts and a games room, and who do not mind being 9 km from the centre of Munnar. It also suits families, since family rooms and a picnic area are provided. It does not suit anyone who wants to be in the middle of town within easy reach of everything. The position outside Munnar is the deciding factor.
When to plan a stay
The season for the Munnar hills is September to May. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk to the area. January mornings frost on the grassland, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive away and closes for calving in February and March, so if that park matters to you, avoid those two months.
