Where Rivulet sits
Rivulet stands outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district, within South Kerala. The address is Pallivassal Power House. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and the hotel is 6.5 km from the centre of Munnar. That distance puts you just beyond the town rather than in the middle of it.
The destination is Munnar itself, and it is the hills. 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. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive and closes for calving in February and March.
Who it suits
Rivulet suits families and couples who want pools, a spa and a restaurant on site, and who accept being 6.5 km from the centre of Munnar. It also suits anyone who wants a base for Eravikulam, which is a short drive away. It suits you less if you want to be inside Munnar town, because that centre is 6.5 km off. The pools, the children's pool and the family rooms point to households with children.
When to plan a stay
The season runs September to May. It frosts here by morning in January, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon. Closed-in cloud and landslip risk arrive in the heavy monsoon months, so those weeks are best avoided. Eravikulam closes for calving in February and March, which matters if the tahr park is the reason for coming. Book outside that closure if the park is on your list.
