The Tall Trees, Munnar

The Resort & Its Setting

The Tall Trees, Munnar is an independent, RCI-affiliated timeshare resort in Munnar, in Kerala's Idukki district. Munnar sits at altitude in the Western Ghats, and the resort's position puts owners within easy reach of the tea estates and viewpoints the town is known for. As an RCI-affiliated property, owners here aren't limited to using their week on-site — they can also exchange it through the RCI network for stays at other affiliated resorts, or use it to host visiting RCI members at The Tall Trees itself.

Munnar: What There Is To Do

Munnar's appeal lies in the landscape rather than any single landmark. Tea plantations start within a few kilometres of town, with several estates offering factory tours and on-site tastings. Eravikulam National Park, around 15km away, protects the endangered Nilgiri tahr and is one of the more accessible UNESCO-recognised biodiversity sites in South India — worth building a morning around. Anamudi Peak, South India's highest point, is a popular trekking destination roughly 32km out for those wanting a proper hike rather than a short walk. Closer to town, Mattupetty Lake and Kundala Lake both offer boating and easy walking in cooler, open scenery, and Munnar town itself is the practical base for markets, restaurants and day-to-day supplies.

Selling Or Renting A Week Here

If you own a week at The Tall Trees, Munnar and are thinking about selling it — or renting it out for a season — BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee and no commission taken on the sale, so what you agree with a buyer is what you keep.

The Tall Trees is an independent resort, which means resale typically runs through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than through a branded developer's resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort or its management: the transfer fee for putting the week into a new owner's name, whether the association holds any right of first refusal on a resale (common at many independent resorts, so worth checking before you advertise), how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights and RCI exchange eligibility tied to the week, but not any outstanding fees, prior banked points, or promotional extras the seller may have had — get this confirmed in writing as part of the transfer.

For renters, the practical details that matter most are the unit size and sleeping capacity, the specific week or season on offer, and whether RCI exchange guests are accommodated the same way as owners. Listing these clearly, along with honest photos and the maintenance fee status, tends to get a faster response from serious renters and buyers alike.

Practical Notes For Visiting

Cochin International Airport is the nearest major gateway, around 100km from Munnar by road — allow a good few hours for the mountain drive, especially if arriving in the evening. The route up involves winding ghat roads, and many visitors prefer a local driver who knows the bends rather than self-driving, particularly after dark or in monsoon conditions. Weather swings considerably between midday warmth and cool mornings and evenings, so packing layers is more useful here than at sea-level Kerala destinations.
