Experiencing Tea Estate Life with Blanket Hotel & Spa

Nestled in the rolling hills of Munnar, Attukad Village is more than a scenic spot-it's a window into the heart of Kerala's tea country. A visit arranged by Blanket Hotel & Spa offers more than just a tour; it immerses you in the rhythms of everyday life in a tea estate village. We invite guests on a curated visit led by our knowledgeable naturalist, Charan, who guides you through the heart of Pallivasal Tea Estate.

As you follow Charan into the layams (cluster homes) of Attukad village, you step into a world shaped by generations of tea plantation workers. Each layam is lined with five or six modest houses-KDHP company quarters where the workers and their families live. Dozens of such layams crisscross the estate, forming a vibrant community within the rolling tea gardens.

The air is cool and carries the sweet scent of tea leaves mixed with wood smoke from kitchen fires. Children laugh and play football on the local ground, their shouts carrying across the hills. A short walk away, senior citizens gather in a shaded corner, playing cards with a quiet intensity. Their weathered faces break into smiles as they recount old stories between hands-each shuffle of the deck carrying decades of memories from a life surrounded by tea gardens.

Every village has a heartbeat, and here it's the local canteen. Small, bustling, and filled with the aroma of steaming chai and fried snacks, it's where estate workers and visitors alike come together. A sip of tea here isn't just a refreshment-it's a taste of the region's soul. Conversations flow freely, from the day's yield to tales of monsoon seasons past.

Throughout the day, you'll see tractors rumbling by, piled high with bags of freshly plucked tea leaves. Women in colourful sarees move nimbly through the fields, their hands working in practiced synchrony. This is the living, breathing cycle of the tea estate-the harvest that sustains families and defines Munnar's landscape.

This isn't just a munnar sightseeing tour-it's an invitation to step into the everyday life of a tea estate. Learn about the history of the plantations and take a moment to simply breathe in the crisp mountain air as you listen to Charan's stories about the people and their enduring connection to this land.
