Where To Stay : Munnar being a very small place has a very few
hotels.These are The East End Edissary , The Regency , & Sterling
Resorts
Of the above I would Personally recommend The East End Edissary since it has
decently furnished rooms and a multi cuisine restaurant.
The hotel rooms are moderately priced ranging from Rs.600 to Rs.1200
Sterling Resorts ,situated about 15 Kms. from Munnar , is recomended only if
you have your own vehicle .
What to see :
One thing that should be remembered is that all the hotels in Munnar observe
very strict resturant timings , and no food is served , even to resident
guests ,at other times.
