Scenic Munnar IHCL SeleQtions is a five star property in Chithirapuram, outside Munnar in Idukki district, South Kerala. It holds a 4.7 out of 5 guest score from 371 reviews and lists extensive leisure and practical facilities. The deciding factor is whether you want a resort base with pools and a spa, and a car to reach Munnar's centre, rather than a stay in the town itself.

Where it sits
The property is outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district, in South Kerala. Its address is Eitty City Chithirapuram, and it is 8.5 km from the centre of Munnar. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub.
The destination is Munnar, a hills destination at 1,500 to 2,695 m. Tea from 1,500 metres up to the grassland is 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. Two reasons to base here: it frosts by morning in January, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon, and Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive and closes for calving in February and March.
Who this hotel suits
This suits travellers who want a full facility resort as their base in the Munnar hills, and who are content to be outside the town centre and rely on a vehicle or the shuttle service. It also suits families, given the children's pool and the spread of leisure amenities. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the door into Munnar's town, because the centre is 8.5 km away, nor anyone who prefers a small, simple hillside stay.
Planning a stay
The season runs from September to May. Outside that window, the heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk, so plan around them. January mornings are frosty, which is worth packing for. Eravikulam closes for calving in February and March, so if the tahr park is the main reason for the trip, choose other months. Book the shuttle service if you would rather not drive.
What the property lists
Where it is
