The Chinnar Heritage Plantation Resort is located in the Semni Valley Tea Estate, near Elappara (Kerala, India), on the cardamom hills of Peermade in Central Kerala. Semni Valley is bordered by the Haileyburia Tea Estate on the west, the Chinnar Estate on the north and Twyford on the south. The resort is a part of the 3000 acres of plantations.

Top Bungalow, a grand old heritage building, is the high point of the resort. This ranch style structure was built in 1905 by Frank Bisset, one of the pioneer-planters who opened up the initial clearings in 1902. From this vantage point, you can see the mist-laden hills and valleys with their rolling plantations of tea and spices spread around you in all their mystique splendor.

The area surrounding the bungalow is a mosaic of seasonal flowering plants, creepers and vines, lawns and landscaped gardens. Cypress trees, flame-of-the forest trees and a huge coniferous tree borders the garden at the northern side and bamboo trees and pines on the eastern side. 

Activities here comprise Plantation walk, Boating in this little lake.
