When is it happening?

19^th to 25^th January 2025

Where is it happening?

Amidst the rolling hillocks of Munnar, close to the main town area yet far
enough to be surrounded by a sea of virginal greenery. Situated right in the
middle of a cardamom plantation, this particular Retreat features individual
villas dotted around the main property.

About 1,600 feet above sea level, Munnar is a hill station situated at the
confluence of three mountain streams, Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala.
Historically, a summer resort for the British, today it features sprawling tea
gardens, quaint towns, and of course, a plethora of spice plantations under
a clear blue sky.

Venue

Neelakurunji Luxury Plantation Bungalow is a place that’s set far away
from the city din, amidst Kerala’s most beautiful hill station.

The property in Munnar is a sprawling spice plantation with beautiful green vistas
and giant boulders dotting the landscape. Taking a stroll here amidst the misty atmosphere
is an experience beyond words. A bonfire can be set up in one part of the property, which
is perfect for a nippy evening. The front porch is also equipped with seating, thereby
keeping you spoilt for choice when the tales get interesting.
