About the campsite

Munnar Elephant Lake Camping - Embrace Nature!

With holidaying in resorts & visiting the usual tourist circuit becoming mainstream, camping stays in Munnar are fast becoming sought after. Exoticamp's Munnar Elephant Lake Camping site is situated 30 Kms from main town Munnar far away from the tourists.

The campsite is located on the banks of beautiful lake set against the backdrop of rolling tea plantations, shola forests & mountain peaks. This breathtaking campsite also houses tree houses. The tents are set on high raised wooden platforms with private patios (smaller balconies), allowing campers savor the panoramic view with ample privacy. Offering spectacular views & surrounded water, this Munnar tent stay serves as a relaxing retreat.

The campsite is fully equipped with neat washrooms, fully functional kitchen & basic electricity. There are also beautiful tree-top a viewing platforms taking adventure camping in Munnar to another level altogether.

Go on a refreshing nature walk. Sit around campfire under a billion stars in cold weather. Sit on tree-top watch towers, spot birds & wildlife, grab a book with a cup of black tea or just do nothing & relax.

You will also be served yummy dinner, hot kattan chaai (Black Tea) & a sumptuous breakfast.

Packed with the right amount of adventure, comfort, & spectacular views, this would easily rank as one of the best tent stays in Munnar.

Rolling emerald green tea plantations, interspersed with blue lakes, towering peaks & evergreen shola forests; Munnar is straight out of a picture frame.

Munnar is home to numerous waterfalls, majestic peaks, hiking trails, rich flora & fauna making it a perfect destination for wildlife spotting, bird watching, jungle camping & adventurous treks.
