Our Home Stay

The mornings are frigid, making the task of detaching from the warm quilt a herculean task. The dewdrops embracing the tender viridescent tea leaves, is a pleasurable sight. It’s a prudent idea to carry sufficient warm clothing during a trip to any hill station, Munnar is no exception. Travelling on two wheels might require the extra bit of insulation as the wind chill is deadly at those altitude & temperatures. The mercury does rise marginally during the day, but drops exponentially with the night-fall. This part of the country receives substantial volume of rain fall throughout the year, so keeping rain gears handy is always prove to be a boon.

The roads are tapered with foliage on both sides. Being heedful during any type of vehicular operation is a good practice. One needs  to be patient with heavy vehicles driving up-hills, as losing the momentum cannot be afforded on such steep inclinations. People are amiable & accommodating in spite of the prevalent language impediment.
