General

Handcrafted table at Plantation Home At Pothamedu

Spend a cozy holiday at this Plantation Home at Pothamedu with the fragrance of cardamoms lulling you to sleep each night.

Nestled 5,000 feet above sea level, this Plantation Home at Pothamedu is surrounded by cardamom plantations, tea gardens, and evergreen trees. Insects and birds are free to wander around the land and help enhance the homely and welcoming ambiance. Only 10 km away from the popular hill town of Munnar, this home is the epitome of hospitality.

This Plantation Home at Pothamedu has been created painstakingly from eco-friendly materials to help maintain a balance with the bounty of nature that surrounds it. It has a stone exterior with ivy climbing up the walls in many places.  The lampshades are crafted from handmade paper while the oil paintings on the walls have been painted by the owners. The innovatively designed furniture comprising wardrobes, beds, and tables is made of wood.  The food here is traditional and homely, prepared fresh by the cook and not according to a fixed menu. You can convey any suggestions or dishes you would like to try and these will be served provided they are within the cook’s abilities. Ingredients are locally sourced and you can also experience barbecuing over a coal grill. The deck also has an open air dining area.

The spacious rooms at this Plantation Home at Pothamedu are spread over two floors and with one common kitchen and hall. All but one of the rooms face the cardamom plantation.  All rooms have wooden flooring and those on the ground floor come with private balconies while the ones on the first floor share a common deck space with a pergola. There is no air conditioning or fans in the rooms as the pristine air at this altitude does away with the need for these. The perfect opportunity to be one with nature leaving behind the stress and chaos of daily life!

Things to do

Munnar and its surrounding areas are a magical place where the sun’s rays pierce the mist to create an ethereal atmosphere. It is no surprise then that nature beckons one and all in this spectacular region. With perfect conditions for bird watching, you are sure to come across rare species, with even the balconies making for vantage spots to catch feathered friends at eye level.

Long or short treks to scenic spots as well as cycling tours of the vicinity can be organized. You could take along a picnic hamper and then end the day with a campfire at your chosen spot. Back at the property, you can also try your hand at barbecuing and watch your food sizzle and hiss as it gets cooked. The grill and coals can be arranged on request.

The majestic Attukad waterfall is a short drive away as is the Mattuppetti Dam reservoir where pedal and speed boating are available. Kollukkamalai, the highest tea garden in India, a safari through Eravikulam National Park, the Indo-Swiss Dairy Project, and the Kannan Devan Tea Museum are some interesting things to experience.
