A stay at Nature Zone Jungle Resort is a "must" to any who seek the recluse of nature or to experience the wilderness of Munnar. Located amidst a tea plantation and wilderness, Nature Zone Jungle Resort expands to an area of 30 acres.
The trip to resort itself is an adventure. The resort management facilitates special parking space for our vehicles and transports us to the resort in their private vehicles. It is an awesome Jeep drive amidst a panormic tea estate and a steep hills.
Once we reached the destination, we were recieved with warmth and were offered welcome drinks. As it is a property that shares it's border with the reserved forests, they informed us about the do's and don'ts. They also briefed about the compound and elaborated on the activities we could engage with.
The resort offers super clean and fully furnished tents and tree houses, with attached bathroom. As we were two families, we opted for one tent and one tree house. We had a unique stay at our respective tent and tree house, and we are looking forward to experience the other. The breath of fresh air and the clear night sky were a feasts to the mind and the eyes!
The resort also facilitates
Artistic Reception Area
Restuarant offering mouthwatering native delicacies and continental dishes (must try)
Childerns park which our children found quite enjoyable
Nature friendly structures were we can simply engage in conversations or to look at the splendid greenary surrounding us.
Amazing campfire experience
We were also lucky enough to meet its directors, Mr Jayakrishnan and Mr Mahesh who were so warm and cordial. Furthermore, Mr Mahesh, took us for trecking and we got to experience the breath taking beauty of Munnar from 180 and 360 degrees.. a small town filled with mist and mystic greenary. These views are quite rejuvenating, and is prompting us to visit there often.
In total, the hospitality was superub & we highly recommend Nature Zone Jungle Resort to everyone who wish experience the nature and jungle together. We will go back there for sure.
We thank Mr.Jayakrishnan, Mr.Mahesh & all the staff members of Rudra hospitality for their warmth and...
Read moreSorry for the long review... Short version is it's brilliant and you should definitely go here.
Long version: We stayed here in the beginning of the dry season. It is an absolutely beautiful spot with 5 tree houses and these are actual tree houses up in a tree not just a house on stilts like so many that claim to be tree houses. It also has a selection of tents (with en suite bathrooms and hot running water).
We stayed in one of the tree houses and it was really nice. It had an en suite bathroom. There is mains plug sockets a kettle and even WiFi in the tree house. The tree house we stayed in had a tree coming in and out of the side of it meaning a big section was literally in the bedroom. The bed was a big double bed but unfortunately the mattress wasn't all that comfortable as I think it was just foam not a normal sprung mattress. The little balcony on the side of the tree house was idyllic and had beautiful views into the forest/jungle. The main word of warning is that this is a tree house and you may have the odd bit of unwanted wildlife in or on the tree house but it's all part of the fun and if it's anything that needs sorting you can just ring down to reception and they'll help sort it out.
As for the rest of the resort it is a beautiful array of little terraces with local plants and flowers and some little kitchen gardens. There is also archery, basketball and a kids play park. There are multiple beautiful view points clearly marked where you can watch sunrise or sunset.
The restaurant is great and the food is fantastic. The staff are also excellent for everything throughout your stay. There are also two walks one for sunset and a different one just after sunrise that are well worth going on.
Getting to the resort is via jeep ride on a very very rough dirt track which is not for the faint hearted but is well worth it and can be fun.
All in all an amazing place to stay with great staff, great food and an...
Read moreWe planned for honeymoon stay in nature zone, thrilled to experience the jungle feel we went with lot of expectations. Once we reached Munnar we parked our car in dedicated parking lot provided by resort, later an off-road jeep has come to pick up. While on the travel we had great off-road experience, got to explore inner beauty of Munnar, very exciting to travel in jeep it’s like 5km travel from town to resort. |We had pleasing welcome from team, they given a walkthrough of the place and their viewpoints. We booked tent room it had great view to the city and mounds. In few time jungle fire surrounded our tent. The situation was bit tricky for admin team to put off the fire. |After an hour administration has given tree house for our stay, very happy for that compliment from the team. One could explore the real jungle stay in the Munnar. Birds chipping sounds were top notch. |Evening around 5:00 pm we were guided by a guide for lite trekking through tea plantation and we walked around the mountain had great memorable moments. Guides were so friendly and taken good pictures of us. It was awesome to be around the resort.|They have provided good campfire and lite music without any restrictions.||Food we ordered were up to the mark so nicely served by restaurant person. ||Morning by 7:00 am we headed for another hill top trekking. It’s a one and half hour walk. Guide accompanied us and many foreigners visited the place, it seems to be second tallest hill compared to anaimudi peak. Fabulous views and sceneries has been experienced. |It’s actually a complete set of packages worth the money spending for the resort. You get off-road safari, jungle experience, tree stay, mountain trekking and good food. |Even though we were in jungle we felt safe and secured in the stay. We missed to witness wild animals coz of summer. ||Very helping and friendly service by the team Nature zone jungle...
