Out of this world, closer to heaven. That's Camelot for you! Me and my folks planned a trip to Camelot resort in Munnar, Kerala, impressed by the images shown in their brochure and website. The moment i landed there i realized the images doesn't exactly potray the freshness and the natural beauty of the place and for me it was WAY WAY BETTER than how it looked in the brochure.
Camelot resort is about 5,000mts above sea level. It is 10km away from the now commercialized Munnar town. The way to the resort from the main road is a treat to the nature lovers. The best way to put it is it's trully the pathway to heaven. The much adventurous climb to the top to the resort is a memorable experience.
The USP of the resort is there is no mobile network! A perfect place to take a much awaited break from work. No annoying calls during vacation is something you'll love! Trust me, i loved it!
Our trip was at the end of Jan. It was hot during the day but after 6 in the evening it starts to get very cold and chilly. One look at the sky and you will be lost in the stars above. I bet you wouldn't find yourself so close to the sky anywhere else. And if it's a clear sky you get to see the innumerable shining stars! What a bliss! I rememeber lying on one of the benches in the garden at night and staring at the sky, the music from my mobile set the picture perfect atmosphere. It was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!
Morning we started our day by going for a walk through the beautiful tea estate followed by an adventurous and unforgettable trekking in the forest. From the hill we climbed, we could see the 2nd highest peak of southern India, 'Anamudi'. The leader of the pack was the much enthusiastic GM of the resort. The GM, Mr.Dileep is the one man army who showed immense courage and hardwork to make this beautiful heaven on earth. Camelot is a must visit destination in Kerala and if you miss it's your loss!
From reading a book lying on the garden, viewing the beautiful sunrise & sunset, watching the night sky dreamily while listening to songs, playing table tennis with my bro, going for a walk through the tea estate, picking up and nibbling fresh strawberries from the fruit garden and to trekking in forest. The two days i spent in Camelot resort feel like a beautiful, memorable and unforgettable dream! A dream i wish never ended!
P.s A special mention to the warmth and welcome of the staffs at Camelot resort who makes you feel at home.
