Welcome to Munnar
Rolling tea estates cover the hills around Munnar, and walking through them at altitude feels unlike anywhere else in India. The cool air and forest trails draw you away from the coast and into a slower pace entirely. Resorts in Munnar are carved into these hillsides, many surrounded by working plantations, which makes the landscape part of the experience from the moment you arrive.
How to find the best resort deal in Munnar
The same magic that powers our flight search can also help you track down amazing room rates online. Here are some handy tips to find the perfect place to stay and save in seconds.
Book in advance
Book in advance if possible. Organising things sooner rather than later usually means cheaper prices and more resorts to choose from, especially during busy travel seasons.
...Or bag a last-minute Munnar resort deal
Last-minute booking can be hit or miss, but it can pay off. Some stays reduce their rates close to check-in to attract more bookings, especially in quieter months.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
Flexibility can open up more options when searching for cheap resorts in Munnar. Swap weekends for weekday stays, or go during shoulder season instead of the busiest periods.
Go all-inclusive
If you plan to spend the majority of your stay in one place, all-inclusive resorts in Munnar are worth considering. Activities, drinks and meals are included in the room rate, which can help keep costs under control. Check if these types of stays are available before booking.

When to visit Munnar
High and low season in Munnar
The months from October through May are generally the best time to visit Munnar. The weather is clear and dry, making it well-suited for exploring the tea plantations, hill trails, and viewpoints the area is known for. Visitor numbers peak between December and January, so securing accommodation early gives you more options and better rates during that window.
The monsoon season, roughly June through September, brings heavy rainfall to Munnar and can limit access to some outdoor areas. The landscape turns a deep, rich green during this period, and you'll find fewer crowds and more flexibility on accommodation. Some guesthouses and local operators may scale back services, so it's worth confirming your plans are viable before you arrive.
Munnar hosts the Flower Show at Rajamala (also known as the Top Station area) and various cultural events tied to regional festivals, though schedules can shift year to year. Onam, Kerala's harvest festival celebrated in late August or September, is widely observed across the region. Checking with local tourism offices or your accommodation before your trip is the most reliable way to find out what's on during your stay.
