Tall Trees

The 26 smart, lemon-scented, contemporary-meets-classic-Keralan cottages at this shaded hillside resort are hidden away under a luxuriant shola (virgin forest) canopy, 6km southeast from Munnar, and come with balconies, kettle kits and filtered water. Activities on offer include tea tastings, campfires, ayurvedic massages and guided walks, while meals are served alfresco or in the glass-ceilinged restaurant.
