Where it sits
The address is Viceroy Resorts Ellackal P.O Uppar Nirappu Munnar, in Idukki district, South Kerala. The setting is outside Munnar, in the wider Idukki district, and the property is 9.8 km from the centre of Munnar. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub.
This is hill country, with 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. Eravikulam, the Nilgiri tahr park, is a short drive away and closes for calving in February and March. It frosts here by morning in January, ninety kilometres from a tropical lagoon.
Who it suits
This suits travellers who want a full resort base in the Munnar hills, with sport, a spa and several places to eat on site, and who do not mind being 9.8 km from the centre of Munnar. It does not suit anyone who wants to step out of the door into town, or who prefers a small, simple guesthouse.
When to plan
The season runs from September to May. The heavy monsoon months bring closed-in cloud and landslip risk, so they are best avoided. January mornings can frost, which is worth packing for. Eravikulam closes for calving in February and March, so plan that visit outside those months.
