The treehouse was a great experience, a huge tree went right through our room and we woke up a few times in the night from the noise of the various animals and birds around. The setting was great and felt very natural, so we were fine with that, it beat traffic noise anytime. The food was excellent. The jeep ride to the site from Munnar was unexpected and rough, so clients may need to be aware (e.g. for those who suffer from car sickness, back trouble or who are pregnant). We went for an early morning trek with one of the guides. It is an easy walk and highly recommended.

We stayed for one night in a tree house. The trip in the jeep to the Nature Zone was great fun as was the trek we took on our own from the Nature Zone to town (you do not need a guide, this was one of the best treks we've ever gone on). Although it's special and the view is great, this lodge is over priced and the food was inedible. I asked for a vegetarian dinner and they served me potatoes, rice and bread (crazy considering what an incredible vegetarian paradise India was).

We went on the great hike in the morning and asked them to drive our bags to us in Munnar. When the bags arrived, we went through them to get out a tip from a wallet, which was wrapped in an unlikely wrapper and stuffed in the bottom of the bag (they have no safe and we always carry our valuables with us but the staff seemed very trustworthy). We discovered that our wallet had been emptied of several hundred dollars. We called the manager and he found out immediately that the bellboy had helped himself to all of our money. He was able to recover all of it and drove it down to us in Munnar. Alls well that ends well, but we lost several hours of our day dealing with this and it left a sour taste. We spent one month in India and this was the only time we were ripped off.

THE GOOD: This place is interesting, it has the most beautiful views and setting. The food is delicious too. But it is in no way a resort, it's camping! But camping in beautiful surroundings! THE BAD: The staff leaves more than a little to be desired! I can't say that about everyone, Joby was a wonderful asset. He was in high demand as he was the only one who actually seemed to care about the guests. We arrived at night which I don't recommend at all, it was hard to find our way around and cold. The staff did not tell us but there was a dinner at 8, breakfast in the morning, and a campfire at night! Wish we would have known instead of figuring things out on our own. Nature walks were also offered but we didn't find that out until the night before we left!! Thanks to Joby who took us on a short walk and showed us the cardamon growing and a beautiful sunset. There was one other employee we met in the kitchen/dining area. I can't remember his name but his English was good and he seemed very interested in helping us enjoy our stay, but they seemed to be short handed and he wasn't able to talk much only serve food and run other earrands.
THE UGLY: Also if you're looking for a clean place to stay this isn't it. The tents, while they have a beautiful view, are moldy and dirty. I'll attach pictures, our floor was filthy and the tent as well as shower curtain had mold on it. Our bedcovers were torn and stained. There was a spider and someting else crawling on our tent. When a guy stopped by to bring luggage to the room I pointed it out and he said, that's not a harmful spider, grabbed it and threw it on the floor and stepped on it!!
One other note ... while we were there two guests had money taken, that's something you have to be careful of everywhere though.

This was a real highlight of our tour of Kerala. The views and setting are just stunning . The road up to the nature zone can only be travelled in a 4x4 but the staff collected us for the very bumpy jiourney up there from Munnar. Its more than worth it. Just completely peacefulwith the best views. We arrived in time to have lunch and also enjoyed dinner there too. The food was the best we had in our whole trip. Just make sure you're hungry when you take dinner because the portions are very generous. Abihlash & his team extended a very warm welcome. The treehouse was a really lovely experience & one of the highlights of our trip. You will not be disappointed. It can be a bit chilly as its high up & doesn't have heating so go prepared!
