Where it sits
The property stands near Recreation Club Pallivasal, 5 km from the centre of Munnar. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub, and Spice Jungle Resort is inland in South Kerala. The destination is Munnar, and the setting is hills, with the land lying at 1,500 to 2,695 m. Tea from 1,500 metres up to the grassland was 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.
A short drive from the property is Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, though it closes for calving in February and March. The altitude means January mornings can frost, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon.
Who it suits
Spice Jungle Resort suits families and groups who want a pool, a restaurant and a garden in one place, with parking and WiFi included and a front desk that stays open. It also suits guests who accept a location 5 km from the centre of Munnar and prefer a hill setting over a town address. It does not suit travellers who want to be central without arranging transport, or those who need the contract of a higher star rating.
Planning a stay
Come between September and May for the clearest conditions. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk, so those weeks need a flexible plan. January mornings can frost at this altitude, so pack accordingly. Eravikulam closes for calving in February and March, which matters if the tahr park is on your list.
