Unique Jungle Retreat

I stayed at the Treehouse and it was an lovely experience! Perched high above the ground, the views of the surrounding jungle and flowing river were amazing. The ambience was very nice, allowing me to fully immerse myself in nature. I fell asleep to the soothing sounds of the jungle, which made for the perfect escape from everyday life.

Refreshing Nature Showers

The bathrooms were surprisingly well-designed for an eco-friendly retreat. I loved the natural materials used, and the rustic charm made showering feel like part of the outdoor experience. The hot water was a bonus, allowing me to feel rejuvenated after a long day exploring.

Ela Ecoland offers a unique and peaceful retreat amidst nature, away from the hustle and bustle of Munnar. While the location is breathtaking with stunning views and serene surroundings, the amenities are basic and can feel a bit lacking, especially in terms of room maintenance and dining options. It's perfect for nature lovers looking to unwind, but those seeking luxury and pampering may want to consider elsewhere.

Ela Ecoland is a paradise tucked away in nature, where the babbling brook and lush vegetation create a serene atmosphere. The Rock House was ideal for us as a couple, and the food served was exceptional. One downside was the limited mobile network, but honestly, it was nice to disconnect. Overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend this place and would love to return.
