Highlights

Fort Munnar is the premier resort in Munnar, a hill station at 5000 ft at 140 kms from Kochi (Kerala, India)

Overlooking the salubrious surroundings of the Anayirangal Lake, the luxury hotel Fort Munnar offers a breathtaking panorama of gentle slopes and sheer drops and a spectacular view of the coffee, tea and cardamom plantations. The hotel is conceived under the concept of eco-friendly holidaying. Fort Munnar with its colonial architecture blends with nature, surrounded by enormous trees, enchanting hills and foliage. The forests surrounding Fort Munnar are home to exotic spices that have been reaching all parts of the world from time immemorial.

Munnar, the erstwhile 'Summer capital of the British', has become the most sought after holiday destination in South India. It is the luxuriant gift of nature to the Western Ghats, the eastern border of Kerala, 5000ft above sea level. Dense forests, wildlife sanctuaries, and major cash crop plantations cover most of this region. Munnar abounds in animals like elephants and Nilgiri Tahrs and rich biodiversity teeming with flora and fauna. Among the exotic flora found in the forests here is the "Neela Kurinji" . This flower which bathes the hills in blue every 12 years, will bloom next in 2006 A.D.
