Evening over Chithirapuram
The climb begins
at sea level
From Kochi the road leaves the coconut flats at Neriamangalam, climbs through Adimali, and somewhere after the first tea the air changes.
Twenty minutes before Munnar town, at Chithirapuram, the road passes our gate. The Munnar Queen sits on its own hill, with the valley opening in front of the balconies and tea slopes behind. Rooms, a hilltop pool, a multicuisine kitchen and an Ayurveda spa, with the whole of Munnar reachable in a short drive: Mattupetty, Top Station, Eravikulam, the tea museum.
We have hosted honeymoons, family holidays and quiet working weeks here for more than twenty-five years.
