Windermere Estate, Munnar, kerala.

Windermere is a guesthouse adjacent to a farmhouse in a Cardamom and Tea estate. It is located high up in the mountains 3 kilometers from Munnar town With the lofty mountain peaks of the Western Ghats as its backdrop and overlooking an endless green carpet of tea in the valley below. The rooms are well-appointed, using lot of wood paneling. Here the manicured Tea Garden merges with lush green Forests of Munnar.

Windermere, famous for its unique ambience and charm was established in the 19th Century. With rooms in the farmhouse and separate cottages which look over the valley below, Windermere Estate would appeal to people who like to escape from the bustling cities and who have a love for the great outdoors. The owning family live in the old planters bungalow and their friendly staff will take you off on long walks in the hills or private cardamom estate. It is very much a place to experience the hills at their best as the peace and solitude up here is second to none - nature and an unspoilt wilderness envelop you. Delicious, local cuisine will ensure no-one goes out on an empty stomach and thirst-quenching mint tea awaits guests on their return from a vigorous and informative walk.

Sitting on Observatory Hill, high in the Palani Hills, Windermere Estate is perched on a hilltop, surrounded by a cardamom estate. The 360 degree views from this delicious little retreat are truly awe-inspiring and you often find yourself looking down on the clouds below you. When the clouds disperse, the Western Ghats open up before you.
