About Varkis

God’s Own Country’s house of God, in the green heaven of Munnar.

A heritage wood house in Chinnakanal

Varkis Munnar is a serviced villa approved by the Kerala Tourism Department: a tourist heritage wood house in Chinnakanal, known as the green heaven of Munnar, one of India’s best-loved hill destinations. Around the cottage the mountain peaks are dense with lush green bushes and trees, and the house is reached only by a private road. The view from the top of the mountain is breathtaking, an ideal trekking spot for adventure-lovers and peace-seekers alike.

The panoramic view, the salubrious winds in the valley and the sound of the waterfalls will be music to your ears and a vision to your eyes. The unpolluted fresh air refreshes body, mind and soul. So come, stay and enjoy every comfort in this dreamhouse in the green heaven rightly called the “Kashmir of South India”.

Dreamhouse

The house is laid out in a distinctive European style, with natural pebble masonry inside and out. The heritage wood house carpentry is made from solid eucalyptus logs. Each suite has its own entrance, balcony, sit-out room, corridor and hot and cold shower.

The “Dreamhouse” waits for you here like a virgin land untouched by artificial creations: a gem set a little away from the traffic at the foothills of the Western Ghats, among some of the finest resorts in Kerala.

Restaurant

The taste of our traditional Kerala-inspired meals, together with the beauty of the hills, is reason enough to bring family and friends for an exclusive camp. During the monsoon, streams and natural ponds overflow with fresh water right beside the restaurant.

The ground-level food court near the stream satisfies every sense, and from inside the restaurant your eyes can feast on cascading streams running down through the landscape.

Speciality

Nestled away from the maddening traffic, you will experience nature at its most pristine in the purest air possible. Add the melody of wildlife and the gentle sound of water through the landscape, and you have a glimpse of the bliss waiting in this dreamhouse.

On chilly nights, enjoy a cosy campfire outdoors and then warm yourself under down comforters in the elegant cottages. In the morning, you will be woken by the songs of the many exotic birds native to this region.

Vision and mission

We give our best service to everyone who comes here looking for a hallowed, spiritual atmosphere. The property is ideal for anyone seeking transformation or restoration, free from worldly addictive substances. To protect this sacred ambience, these items are not permitted anywhere on the property.

Conferences, fellowships and retreats can be held here to meet the needs of the family of God. Whether you are bringing your family or booking for a group of up to twenty-five participants, you are warmly invited to Varkis Munnar.
