The hills here carry tea 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. That altitude shapes the weather and the views.
Who it suits and who not
Monsoon Grande suits travelers who want a full set of facilities and do not mind being outside the town centre. It also suits families, with family rooms and a games room. It does not suit those who want to be in the middle of Munnar, because the hotel is 6.1 km from the centre. It also does not suit anyone who wants a small, simple stay, given the range of services on offer.
When to plan a stay
The season for Munnar and the wider area runs from September to May. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk. January mornings can frost, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive and closes for calving in February and March, so plan around that if it matters to you.
