About the Property: Your Gateway to Viripara’s Wilderness

The Heights Munnar is more than just a place to sleep; it is a carefully curated experience designed to bridge the gap between luxury and nature. As one of the most distinctive resorts in Munnar, the property is perched on a ridge that commands sweeping views of the Kallar valley.

The architecture is thoughtfully designed to let the outdoors in. Large windows, private balconies, and open-air common areas ensure that you are never more than a glance away from the emerald-green canopy of the Kerala rainforest. The resort serves as a bridge to the "Old Munnar" charm—a time when the hills were silent, the air was crisp, and the only soundtrack was the song of the Malabar Whistling Thrush.

Location Advantage: Seclusion Meets Scenic Splendor

The Heights Resort is situated on the scenic Viripara - Mankulam Road, a route famous among seasoned travelers for its stunning natural landscapes, thick forests, and hidden waterfalls.
