In the heart of the enchanting Munnar lies a sanctuary that seamlessly blends opulence with nature’s embrace – the Parakkat Nature Hotel & Resorts. Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Kerala’s Western Ghats, this haven promises an immersive experience that transcends conventional hospitality. As I embarked on this journey, little did I know that I was about to unravel a tapestry of luxury, tranquility, and unparalleled rejuvenation.

From the moment I stepped foot into the resort’s premises, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of genuine warmth and hospitality. The staff’s unwavering commitment to ensuring every guest’s comfort was palpable, making each interaction a testament to their dedication. It’s not just about accommodation; it’s about crafting an experience that leaves a lasting impression.
During my time at Parakkat Nature Hotel & Resorts, I had the delightful opportunity to personally meet and engage in a tea session with none other than the resort’s owner Mr. Prakash Parakkat himself who is renowned for his remarkable accomplishments as a jeweler and his business ventures across India, the Middle East, and Malaysia. Having him as a part of my network felt like a privilege, creating a bond that I’m certain will endure. Interestingly, this resort venture marks Mr. Parakkat’s initial foray into the hospitality sector. This interaction adds a unique dimension to the experience I had during my stay. The exceptional experience I had at the resort led me to make the decision to extend my stay by an additional three days. Mr. Parakkat’s gracious offer of a significant discount, coupled with the remarkable hospitality I experienced, played a pivotal role in influencing my choice to prolong my vacation time at the hotel.

As I entered my room, I was immediately struck by the seamless fusion of elegance and comfort. The tastefully designed space was adorned with plush furnishings and modern amenities that catered to every need. The attention to detail was evident in every corner – from the intricately patterned textiles to the thoughtful placement of lighting fixtures. The room was not just a place to rest; it was a sanctuary of resplendence.
Having a hotel room with a splendid 180-degree view of the surrounding tea garden from the balcony was truly a remarkable experience. The breathtaking vistas of the lush tea plantations that stretched out in every direction created a sense of tranquility and connection with nature. One of the most memorable aspects was the opportunity to witness the enchanting sunrise right from the comfort of my balcony. As the first rays of sunlight gently kissed the horizon, the entire landscape transformed into a canvas of warm hues and soft light. Each morning, I found myself captivated by the beauty of nature’s spectacle, making it a cherished moment that I looked forward to. The immersive views and the serene ambiance of the tea garden added a touch of magic to my stay, creating lasting memories that I will always treasure. Simultaneously, I enjoyed the lavish hotel room with its captivating misty mountain view, creating a blend of joy, adventure, and tranquility.
We had hoped to indulge in a few days of relaxation in a room with a Jacuzzi, but unfortunately, the room with an attached Jacuzzi was not available during our stay. However, the Jacuzzi room became available only on the last day, and by that time, we were too exhausted to move our luggage to a new room.

Airport Transportation and Exploring Beyond Resort
I traveled from Delhi to Kochi by flight and had pre-booked a private taxi with a driver to accompany me throughout my time in Kerala, so I didn’t explore local public transportation. During my journey, I allocated two days for Kochi, a week for Munnar, one day for Thekkady, and two days for Alleppey, all before making my way back to Kochi Airport. The flexibility of having a private taxi enriched my experience by allowing me to uncover the lesser-known gems of Munnar, Thekkady, and Alleppey, fully immersing myself in the vibrant local culture.
