Windermere Estate is situated in the Idukki district on the high ranges of the Western Ghats of Kerala, 1600m above sea level.

Perched on a hilltop, this little gem - Windermere Estate has some of the most spectacular views to be found anywhere in Kerala. With a backdrop of hills and surrounded by cardamom fields which fall away into the valley below, you often find yourself looking out, above the clouds. The winding road up to the estate clings to the hillside and takes you ever higher, about 15 minutes outside the town of Munnar. The ideal place for nature and mountain lovers, walkers and those wanting an escape.
