About the Property: An Eco-Sanctuary in the Highlands

Black Forest Resort is strategically situated at Kallar Vattiyar, serving as the perfect, grand introduction to the Munnar highlands for those arriving from Cochin. Surrounded by dense spice plantations and musical streams, the resort’s expansive 3-floor architecture is built to respect the contours of the land.

The "Black Forest" theme is not merely a name—it is a promise of preservation. The resort actively works to protect the local flora, ensuring that guests enjoy a clean, oxygen-rich environment that acts as a natural detox from urban life.
