Location: Pothamedu, 4 km from Munnar town
The resort is located on Munnar Bison Valley Road in Pothamedu, which is one of the popular viewpoints over the tea and coffee plantations. The 4 km separation keeps traffic and noise from town away, and markets are just a taxi ride down the slope. Attukad Waterfalls and Old Munnar are easily accessible from Pothamedu by short drives. Top Station, Echo Point and Eravikulam National Park are 32 km, 15 km and 13 km from Munnar town.Getting there
It takes approximately four hours to reach the resort from Cochin International Airport (COK) via NH85, passing through Aluva, Kothamangalam and Adimali. The last leg is a hilly section in the Western Ghats. Visibility on the climb may be reduced by clouds, and the climb is best made from Kochi in the morning. A private airport transfer can be arranged by the resort. Guests can hire a taxi to Ernakulam from there and then get onto a bus or private cab to Munnar.
The Pothamedu viewpoint
The Pothamedu viewpoint is a vantage point from which to enjoy panoramic views of tea and coffee plantations. The elevation also provides cooler temperatures and mist in the morning. The weather alters the view, and a clear valley one hour can be under cloud the next hour. For photographers, set aside the morning for taking photos of the valley._1378cc1b.jpg)
Weather and the room
Hill nights run cold, and monsoon days run damp. Every room category lists a fireplace, and the electric fireplace gives warmth on a cold evening. The terrace categories give an outdoor seat on clear days. In steady rain, guests spend the hours indoors, so room size and the fireplace carry the day. Guests who book in June to August should ask reservations about terrace cover and indoor options.

The cool, fresh-air season is October through March. No month guarantees clear morning hours. The monsoon is from June to August. Mist fills the valley, the slopes are a dark green, and some days the view is hidden behind the clouds. Those who care more about the view than anything else should reserve for the colder months. Those who prefer rain and quiet can opt for the monsoon, when Ayurvedic treatments are sought after.
