MUNNAR TEA HILL RESORT

Welcome to Munnar Tea Hills Resort (MTHR), where the air is scented with wild eucalyptus and the only alarm clock you’ll need is the rhythmic chirping of mountain birds. Situated in the tranquil enclave of Chithirapuram, this resort is a master class in blending colonial elegance with the raw, untamed beauty of the Western Ghats.
Snuggled amidst mist-clad mountains and sprawling tea plantations, Munnar Tea Hills Resort offers more than just a room; it offers a vantage point. If you are looking to trade city sirens for the whispering winds of the valley, you have found your destination.

Strategic Location & Accessibility

The resort is located at Thattathi Muku, Chithirapuram P.O., Munnar, Kerala 685565.
Chithirapuram is a historic town known for its old-world charm, sleepy cottages, and the Pallivasal Hydel Power Project. By staying here, you get the double benefit of Munnar’s high-altitude climate without the weekend congestion of the central town.

Distance from Munnar Town

• Proximity: The resort is approximately 7 to 9 kilometers from Munnar Town.
• Travel Time: A scenic 20 to 30-minute drive, depending on the mist.
• Why stay here? It is close enough to access Munnar's main markets and the Tea Museum, yet far enough to ensure your "me-time" remains undisturbed by tourist crowds.

Elegant Accommodations: Your Private Villa

Munnar Tea Hills Resort features 33 well-appointed rooms, mostly designed as independent or semi-independent colonial-style villas. The architecture prioritizes privacy and panoramic views, with large windows and private balconies that frame the valley like a living painting.
