About the campsite

With summer kicking in & a long weekend approaching there is a craving to escape the heat of the plains and spend your long weekend in a cooler mountain retreat. Presenting Mountain & Lake Camping Vacation in Munnar.

We would be camping in two fantastic campsites in the higher ranges of Munnar. A unique, picturesque lake campsite & a breathtaking mountain top campsite

About Campsite 1: Elephant lake Camping

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.

About Campsite 2: Wild Munnar Campsite

The campsite is located just below Meeshapulimala (one of the highest peaks). Perched amidst forests & tea estates; this breathtaking campsite overlooks Kolukumalai - India's highest organic tea estate. Offering spectacular views of dense sholas & deep valleys and often surrounded by mist, this Munnar tent stay is a treat to your eyes.

Across these three days we'd be going on hikes, enjoy campfire under cold munnar night sky, spotting birds & wildlife, go on off-road jeep rides & have a whole lot of fun. What's more we would be visiting a secret river in Theni for a refreshing village style bathing right at the beginning of the trip.

As a beginner, It was an amazing experience. Enjoyed each camp site thoroughly except for the transportation. We opted for end-to-end transportation from Chennai and it was not satisfactory. Hope this concern will be addressed.
