Kerala is known for its natural beauty and there is nowhere better to enjoy this than in the hills surrounding Munnar situated in the Western Ghats. The town itself is a hill station that the British Raj elite frequented in the 19th century due to the cooler climate, making it still popular for domestic travellers and international tourists alike. What really brings people here however is the surrounding hills dotted with tea and spice plantations which are ideal for light walks or some more strenuous treks.

Staying in the beautiful countryside is what is special about this part of India and a perfect place to do this is at the low-key boutique resort of Ecotones.

The resort is 40 minutes from Munnar, on the Cochin side where you will find 9 rooms including 5 Premium Rooms, 1 Superior Cottage, 1 Luxury Cottage and 2 Mudhouse Cottages.

The Premium Rooms are of a good size with outside space to enjoy the views from, the cottages are more spacious with a larger private terrace whilst the mud houses are completely eco-friendly with mud-bricks and grass roofs. These are certainly the most unique rooms to stay in but some do find them a little dark.

Ecotones offer a range of activities with extremely friendly staff, from bird watching, butterfly walks and nature trails. After an active day making the most out of the opportunities here, you can enjoy the unique tastes of a truly Keralan buffet for dinner.
