Location, Accessibility, and the Scenic Drive
Neelakurunji Plantation Resort is situated in a tranquil and exclusive environment away from the usual tourist rush of the town center. The resort's address—Venadu, Muttukad-Periakanal Road, Chinnakkanal P.O.—places it in the heart of the cardamom and spice plantations.
- Distance from Munnar Town: Neelakurunji Resort is approximately 22 km to 25 km away from the main Munnar town centre (or city centre). This distance is a major advantage for guests who wish to escape the noise and congestion of the popular tourist hub.
- The Approach Road: The drive to the resort is a beautifully scenic journey through rolling hills and thick greenery. While the location is secluded, the resort confirms that the plantation has good concrete roads. Guests should note that a small section of the public road (around 200m) may be less developed, which only heightens the sense of being truly "far from the maddening crowd"—a feeling guests cherish for a true hill station retreat.
- Connectivity: Neelakurunji Plantation Bunglows is about 109 km to 115 km from Cochin International Airport (COK) and approximately 25 km from the nearest bus depot (KSRTC).

The resort's design, featuring stone-clad bungalows, is deliberately harmonious with this unique landscape.
- Complimentary Plantation Walk: Guests receive a complimentary and guided plantation walk. This unique experience allows you to witness the cultivation and processing of spices like cardamom and pepper up close, immersing you in the aroma of the estate.
- Intimate & Exclusive: With a minimum number of total rooms (approximately 10 specially designed rooms spread across three bungalows), the resort prioritizes privacy and efficient, personalized service, making every guest feel like they are in a private haven.
- Romantic Candle Light Dinner: The resort offers a special romantic experience: a secluded candle-light dinner on a wooden deck with spectacular nature views, perfect for couples and honeymooners.
- On-site Stream and Waterfall: The property is blessed with its own private stream and a small natural waterfall, adding a calming rhythm and pristine beauty to the surroundings.
