Kerala Tourism Development Corp is all set to welcome tourists at Ponmudi hill resort. The idyllic hill resort of Ponmudi has been developed as a premium getaway and will be opening on October 1. Ponmudi, a golden peak, is situated at an altitude of 1,100 metres and 61 km from Trivandrum. It is a part of Western Ghats mountain range that runs parallel to the Arabian Sea. The resort has been refurbished at an investment of around Rs. 1 crore.

The conical green roof of the granite cottages and rooms, blends with the scenery and resembles small hillocks themselves. The resort has 9 cottages with 14 rooms, with the tariff ranging from Rs. 2000-4000 a night. Another 14 cottages will come up within six months. Also there is also a conference facility set up that can seat 100 people and a full-fledged restaurant as well. So next time, if you wish for a break from your daily chores, drop by and experience the calm and serene environment of Ponmudi hills in Ponmudi hill resort!


This can open only in Kerala ….. average price range Rs 2000 to Rs 4000/-
KTDC needs a reality check – if it continues to over price its establishments and resorts then it would only end up boosting tourism in neighboring states who have better rates.
Why would I want to spend Rs 2000/- for one night in Ponmudi when I can go to Kodiakanal or Munnar and get an accommodation for lesser rate.
