Where it sits
The address is Mullanthandu Pooppara 685619 Chinnakanal India, in Idukki district, South Kerala. Munnar is a town in Idukki district, a tourism hub. The property is 200 m from the centre of Munnar, about 5 minutes on foot, so the town is reachable on foot in that time.
Munnar is a hills destination, with altitudes from 1,500 to 2,695 m. The area is known for 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.
Who it suits
This resort suits travellers who want a central Munnar base with an outdoor pool, a restaurant and family rooms, and who value free parking and WiFi. It also suits pet owners, since pets are allowed. It does not suit those seeking a remote estate stay, because the property is 200 m from the centre of Munnar, about 5 minutes on foot, and the surroundings are town rather than secluded.
Planning a stay
The best months to come are 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. The estate roads are the best walking in the state, and almost nobody walks them.
