Stay overview and location

Elephant Passage Resort Munnar is a five-star hilltop resort in Anachal, Kerala, suited to families with young children and couples who want a quiet, green setting with pool time and evening bonfires. It sits away from central Munnar, so the stay is built around the resort itself rather than the town.

Rooms & rates

Rooms are a mix of categories, including Jacuzzi rooms, and the room cards show bed types, capacities and specifications for each. Because the resort sits on a hillside, comfort here means quiet and forest surroundings rather than city-style convenience. If a particular room type matters to you, such as one with a Jacuzzi, say so when you send an enquiry so the request can be matched to the options available on your dates.

Elephant Passage Resort photos on this page and in the gallery help you compare room categories before choosing.

Amenities

The resort's draw is its heated infinity pool, play areas and an evening bonfire, which together shape how a day is spent: much of it stays on the property. Dining is on site, with both buffet and à la carte service, so most guests eat at the resort rather than going out.

Elephant Passage Resort prices vary by room type, dates and the rate plan, including meal terms. The Localtrav team provides a transparent price breakup and spells out inclusions upfront, so you can see what each part of a quote covers.

Location

Anachal, Kerala, India

Elephant Passage Munnar is on a hilltop near Anachal, reached by a very steep approach road. Guests with their own vehicle should be confident on steep hill driving, and the resort offers a pickup shuttle for those who prefer not to make the climb. Our local specialists can help you plan the arrival.

Reviewers describe the climate as warmer than central Munnar, and the location as roughly 11 to 15 km out of town. Treat that as guest-reported rather than a measured distance.

Frequently asked questions

How do I book Elephant Passage Resort Munnar through Localtrav?

Send an enquiry with your dates, party size and preferred room type, or call Localtrav on 8978918577. Localtrav's local specialists provide a quote with a transparent price breakup and the inclusions spelled out upfront, so you can see what each part covers before you decide.

What should I check about cancellation and refunds before booking?

Check the cancellation and refund terms carefully before confirming. Five reviews describe strict no-refund handling, even for medical or strike-related cancellations, so guests who need flexibility should ask about the terms that apply to their rate.

Should I ask about the pool or a Jacuzzi room before arriving?

Yes. A few guests found the pool under maintenance or not filled, so ask whether it is open for your dates. If you book a Jacuzzi room, ask for the Jacuzzi to be checked before arrival, as some reviews report faults.

Is Wi-Fi available, and is the resort suitable for working remotely?

Wi-Fi is listed in all rooms, though one reviewer reported weak in-room signal. The resort's remote hilltop setting makes it better as a retreat than as a work base.

Is Elephant Passage Resort Munnar pet friendly?

Pet Friendly is listed among the resort's facilities. Confirm any pet conditions when you send your enquiry, as no specific pet rules are available here.
