Fort
Munnar is the premier resort in Munnar, a hill station at 5000
ft at 140 kms from Kochi (Kerala,
India)
Overlooking
the salubrious surroundings of the Anayirangal Lake, the
luxury hotel Fort Munnar offers a breathtaking panorama
of gentle slopes and sheer drops and a spectacular view of the
coffee, tea and cardamom plantations. The hotel is conceived
under the concept of eco-friendly holidaying. Fort Munnar with
its colonial architecture blends with nature, surrounded by
enormous trees, enchanting hills and foliage. The forests
surrounding Fort Munnar are home to exotic spices that have
been reaching all parts of the world from time immemorial.
Munnar,
the erstwhile 'Summer capital of the British', has become the
most sought after holiday destination in South India. It is
the luxuriant gift of nature to the Western Ghats, the eastern
border of Kerala, 5000ft above sea level. Dense forests,
wildlife sanctuaries, and major cash crop plantations cover
most of this region. Munnar abounds in animals like elephants
and Nilgiri Tahrs and rich biodiversity teeming with flora and
fauna. Among the exotic flora found in the forests here is the
"Neela Kurinji" . This flower which bathes
the hills in blue every 12 years, will bloom in 2006 and then
in 2018.
