Best Time to Visit

The ideal period to stay is from September to March. During these months, the weather is cool and pleasant with minimal rainfall, making it perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities. The monsoon season from June to August is for those who enjoy the rain and lush landscapes, but travel can be difficult. The summer months of April and May are warmer, but still offer a pleasant escape from the heat of the plains.
Peak Crowd: December-January, and on long public holiday weekends, due to peak tourist season and pleasant weather.
Moderate Crowd: September-November and February-March, offering a good balance of nice weather and fewer guests.
Low Crowd: April-August, covering the hot summer and heavy monsoon seasons.

How to Reach

Air

Cochin International Airport (COK) is the nearest airport, located approximately 140 km away. From the airport, it takes about 4 to 5 hours to reach the resort by taxi.

Train

The nearest major railway station is Kottayam (KTYM), situated around 110 km from the resort. Taxis are readily available from the station for the 3 to 4-hour journey.

Road

The resort is accessible by road from major cities in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It is located near the Kumily-Munnar state highway. Regular buses connect to nearby towns like Kumily (Thekkady), but a private car or taxi is recommended for the final approach.

Local Transport

Local transport options are limited. For sightseeing, it is best to hire a taxi for the day, which can be arranged through the resort's travel desk. Auto-rickshaws are available in nearby small towns but may not be ideal for hilly terrain.
