The Shade  

Set in the green valley of Chithirapuram beside the Muthirappuzha tributary, just outside Munnar. A family-friendly mountain stay about 7–13 km from Munnar, roughly 95 km from Kochi International Airport and within 100–120 km of major rail and city hubs.

Cozy, simple rooms across a 2.5‑acre farm property. Two apartment-like rooms are ideal for small families. Open-air backyard seating looks out to majestic mountains. Surrounded by cardamom, nutmeg, clove, cocoa, coffee and pepper plantations and tall trees. Room basics include a shower and TV; exact in-room features vary by category.

On-site restaurant and a spice garden-fed farm yard. Free Wi‑Fi across the property. Bookable trekking through forested mountains via the tour desk. Complimentary transfers for getting around the city, plus laundry, dry cleaning, ironing and car rental. Wake up to the scent of cardamom and mountain air.

Free Wi‑Fi on the property and a tour/transfer desk to help with logistics. English‑speaking staff available.

Drop into the on-site restaurant. Meals make use of the farm yard and on‑property spices, so expect fresh, locally rooted flavors inspired by the region.
