Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) South Asia’s largest hospitality company, has today announced the opening of a collection of seven heritage Tea Estate bungalows in Munnar in its amã Stays &Trails portfolio.
The seven original tea planters’ bungalows are located in the famous Kanan Devan Hills, on an estate spanning over 58,000 acres of lush plantations and thick forests. Munnar is known for its Breath-taking landscapes, pristine lakes, unending expanses of tea plantations, and blankets of mist. From trout fishing on the estate, hot air balloon rides, rounds of golf, or a visit to the tea factories and the Tata Tea Museum, guests can immerse themselves in the local culture. The cuisine at the bungalows reflect Kerala, Tamil and British influences through traditional family recipes passed down generations.
