It was suggested to us that we visit a resort hotel called Tea County in Munnar, so we saved the best until last and had dinner there on our last night in this area.

“Tea County is a Resort Hotel in Munnar, amongst enchanting mist clad hills, quaint cottages, fragrant tea gardens and mist-draped mornings that are hallmarks of Munnar. For years the cool and picturesque town of Munnar was the summer retreat of the British and it still retains the charm of a colonial past. The destination is also home to the only sandalwood forest in Kerala”. THIS IS THE HOTEL’S BLURB!

And rightly so!! We felt we were back in colonial Raj in the 1940s, splendour exuded every space, polished marble floors, sweeping staircases, sumptuous sofas, gardens full of rose bushes and the hugest dining room I’ve ever seen .. ..the Chef even came out to talk to us about our menu choices before they were cooked!
