Ela Ecoland Nature Retreat

Awesome stay at Ela Ecoland. The resort is situated around 18 km away from Munnar and is better if you are traveling by your own vehicle. If you want to travel through public transport- you need to take a public bus traveling towards Kochi and get down at Kallar. From Kallar you have to go towards Mankulam Road and get down at Anganwadi School. From the main road, the resort is hardly 50 Mts. Manager- Gopu received us at our arrival and explained all the amenities available during our stay. We had no phone signals there except for BSNL. However, free Wi-fi is provided without any interruptions. We stayed at Tree House, we had to climb nearly 70-80 steps to reach the house. It was an awesome experience for our stay for three days. It was a great escape for us from our busy and hectic lives. Lush green woods and the noise of the nearest waterfall makes the stay so peaceful and pleasant. You can enjoy nature by sitting in the lobby and spending hours. though food was provided as complimentary along with the stay, we did not expect much of the varieties dishes. They provide Breakfast and Dinner which is so delicious and we preferred to have the food only at the resort even though we went out for sightseeing. If you want to have lunch, then there are hotels in a small village nearby around 2 km towards the bubble falls. As per reviews provided by previous guests, we were prepared to encounter leeches since the resort is very nearby to the water body. Luckily, we did not come across any leeches and we came to know that they come out of the river when there is heavy rain or during the rainy season. After 7 p.m there will be very less public transport so plan your day accordingly. Overall, we had a very memorable stay here and we are looking forward to visiting again. Many thanks to Gopu and other staff.

We had a wonderful stay at Ela Ecoland. The place is just amazing. If you are looking for a place to relax this is a good choice. But if you are planning to visit every place in munnar it will not be a great choice since its a bit far (15km) from munnar town. The food was amazing, even though you don't have much options. The Manager Mr. Sathya and his brother both were lovely souls. They were very helpful and very polite. Obviously there's going to be leeches everywhere, so better prepare for that, if you have hand sanitizer you can use it to get rid of leeches. I would recommend the tent for better privacy. A small suggestion I would like to make is that, since the tent is made of cloth like material and it was raining for some days there was a musty smell, it is bearable, still a scented candle or an air freshener would've been great. Overall the stay was amazing!! Privacy, friendly staff, Romantic atmosphere.

The place is into the Nature. There are many places to visit nearby. We stayed for 2 nights. Rooms were clean and tidy. Staff was very cooperative and good service. Food was very tasty. You can book a jeep to visit nearby places. Resort staff will help is boom the jeep. Food and Service Place is very calm and there is a river next to the resort. Children will enjoy it as well Things to watch out for - leaches, roads are a bit narrow but manageable. We had visited this place in May. It was raining heavily. Recommended to carry gum boots , umbrellas or raincoats and warm clothes.

Our stay at Ela Ecoland Natural Retreat was absolutely perfect—from the stunning location to the warm hospitality, delicious food, and serene atmosphere. Traveling with our infant came with its challenges, especially regarding her food, but the staff went above and beyond to assist us, making our experience much smoother and more enjoyable. Their kindness and support truly made a difference. We would love to visit again in the future! Highly recommended!
