Tree House Munnar
For the Nature Lover in You!
Ela Ecoland is a tiny little place nestled in the high ranges of Munnar
Looking for the best nature retreat in Munnar? Ela Ecoland Nature Retreat offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of Kerala’s Western Ghats. Nestled amidst lush greenery and cascading waterfalls, our eco-friendly resort is a top choice for travelers seeking a peaceful, scenic getaway in Munnar.
Ela Ecoland features a range of accommodation options in Munnar, from traditional Kerala tree houses perched above the forest canopy to cozy cottages, luxury tents, and a rock house built into the hillside. Each stay promises a serene connection with nature—ideal for honeymooners, couples, solo travelers, and families looking to disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with nature.
We are located 18 km (approximately 25 minutes) from Munnar town, along the scenic Kallar–Mankulam Road en route to Cochin. The retreat is set inside a private cardamom plantation on a secluded hilltop, offering panoramic views and an authentic wilderness experience. Please note, mobile reception is limited to BSNL in this area.
Ela Ecoland is not a typical resort—we are a rustic, off-grid hideaway with just eight thoughtfully designed rooms, including a two-bedroom cottage, a single-bedroom cottage, a rock house, two luxury tents, and our signature tree house in Munnar. We do not have televisions or conventional distractions—what we offer instead is tranquility, fresh mountain air, and a front-row seat to nature’s beauty.
Our on-site restaurant serves authentic Kerala cuisine, freshly prepared with local ingredients. For digital nomads or remote workers, we provide strong internet connectivity—yes, you can work from the forest!
At Ela Ecoland, we believe in stories, simplicity, and soul. This is not just a stay—it’s an experience. If you’re a true nature lover looking for an offbeat stay in Munnar, welcome to our little world.
Know more before you arrive
Ela Ecoland is essentially a cardamom and coffee plantation with a small farm in the backyard. Ela means cardamom in Sanskrit. All of our rooms are close to nature and are temporary structures. The place is rugged and raw in nature, and we are nothing close to a flashy contemporary resort. The small river or otherwise that large stream that flows through the property in the form of a waterfall is the Kallar-Nallathani River. Local women prepare food at the restaurant, it's authentic, local, and delicious. We have a 24-hour power backup, and the security is there 24/7. The property is technically not in the forests, but the ambiance of large virgin trees and the dense greenery gives you a feel of being in the woods. If you are thrilled! You just can't miss staying with us. Check-in time is 13:00 hours and check-out time is 11:00 hours. Cardamom plantation walks are avaialble. Water trek at the waterfall is also available. Campfire is subject to availability and weather conditions.
