Misty Lake Resort In Munnar

Turning at an intersection on the highway to Munnar town, continue on the road to Aanachal. A hush filled with possibilities hangs in the bracing air. The road passes little hamlets, dipping and then climbing past sparkling rivulets and little waterfalls.

Guests arrive at Misty Lake through a path that travels to the apex of a hillock, welcomed by vividly plumed birds. A cluster of cottages with distinctive pyramidal roofs is situated on the lower slope of the hillock, their balconies overlooking a valley, bramble and silver oak trees. Paved pathways illuminated with lamps rows of lamps connect the cottages. Higher up the slope, Misty Lakes’ multi cuisine restaurant with a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape and the seemingly endless stretches of mountains in the distance is set beside a badminton court and play area for children and a couple of cottages.

Misty Lake is also surrounded by a fascinating range of trees, spice and flowering plants. Through the day, it is nature’s theatre at its best – mist descending to the bowl of the valley, pink streaked tendrils rise spectacularly in the air, simply memorable – Misty Lake.

Munnar

Situated in an altitude of 6000ft amidst the Western Ghats at the confluence of three mountain streams, Munnar is a hill station that was once a retreat for Englishmen and their families in South India during colonial rule. A large part of the native flora and fauna of Munnar has vanished due to severe habitat fragmentation caused by the development tea plantations. However, many endemic and threatened species continue to survive and thrive in several protected zones around Munnar. The region around the town is ideal for treks and camping, birding, mountain biking and four wheel drive tours. Set against a backdrop of sprawling tea plantations, picture postcard towns, mist shrouded hills and vast stretches of forests, Munnar will elevate your soul.

Munnar was once the summer capital of the British administration in South India. In summer entire families and their staff moved to Munnar. Due to the cool climate they named Munnar ‘little England’. Even though documented historical information exists from the 10th century, prehistoric relics found in the area indicate the existence of a Stone Age civilization. In the early 19th century the chieftain of the villages in the Anchanad area named Kannan Thevar held lands to the north of the high ranges in the territory under the rule of the Raja of Poonjar. JD Munro a British lawyer and tea planter leased close to 600sq km of jungle around Munnar from the Poonjar king. It is believed that the first tea sapling was planted by A.H.Sharp in what is today part of Sevenmullay Estate. He then cleared the forests for tea plantations. This land was then known as Kannan Thevar Concession Land till 1895 when Finlay Muir and Company bought Munro’s land. Today many remanents of the colonial period can still be seen in Munnar town and in the surrounding tea plantations.
