Greenview Holiday Inn

Green View Holiday Inn is a good choice accommodation for those wanting to locate in Munnar itself. The staff are helpful and friendly, the rooms clean, the tariff quite reasonable. I can definitely recommend Green View. Nonetheless, one wonders why people want to go to Munnar in the first place, seeing as it is a famous hill station. If you want to escape the crowds and heat of the lowlands, see a sea of camellia (tea) plants covering every last bit of landscape, look out over the vast valleys through the haze, and even see an elephant or two, then this is a great place. Probably suited more to domestic tourism. But if you are foreigner interested in Indian culture, Munnar is not the best place to look for that. You can't even go for a short walk from the Inn without having to constantly dodge rickshaws, motorbikes trucks and buses. Eating is restricted options, and the town proper is one of the least interesting Indian towns I have seen. Having said that, the staff at Green View are helpful in guiding you to where you can experience the more acclaimed sites in this area, so definitely seek their advice.

We did a fabulous full day trek with Ganesh through the tea plantations and up to some wonderful view points. Ganesh was extremely knowledgable about the plantations and provided us with lots of information about other spices and plants that grew in the area. We enjoyed our full day trek so much that we decided to book a half day trek for the next day! The price was very reasonable and the food was just what we needed!

Great trek experience with Ganesh for a fair price. Views were amazing and our guide Ganesh explained every plants and answered all our questions. We got observe the workers in the plantations. Highly recommended.
