The Anaerangal Camp - a cottage-tented camp overlooking the spectacular Anaerangal Lake - beckons those in search of a quiet retreat amongst the mountains of Munnar. The camp is ideal for cyclists, trekkers, birders and those simply looking to escape the torrid plains below and the hectic life in today's world.

Anaerangal Camp is indeed a perfect place to unwind, explore the hills and enjoy the personalised service of the local community members who manage the camp.

The camp has 8 large  cottage tents – all furnished with large cots and comfortable mattresses, 4 large windows and an en suite bathroom.  There is a large gazebo, where you can join in for the nightly camp fire and a barbequed dinner on order - one would say an ideal meeting ground for adventurers to spin yarns at the end of a hectic day spent outdoors! The camp overlooks a shola forest and in the distance the Anaerangal Lake set in the backdrop of the Sahyadris - a welcome sight for sore eyes!! The sunrise over the Papathy Shola (Butterfly Forest) is nothing short of spectacular and is only rivaled by the colours of the sunset over the Anaerangal Lake. Indeed this place is a paradise for those seeking refuge from the hustle & bustle of city life! The food cooked at the camp’s own kitchen provides scrumptious local delicacies served at the Gazebo. The camp staff is made up entirely from members of the local communities. The ready smiles and local knowledge are some of the memories you will take back with you.
