Our Story
It was in the 80's we began our journey at ambady estate. A 70 acre organic cardamom plantation situated in the heart of munnar. When we first came here it was just cardamom plantation with it's endless greenery. What made us fall in love with this place was its peaceful beauty—the misty mountains, fresh mountain air, colourful butterflies, and the gentle chirping of birds.
We knew this place was too special to change. So, we made a promise to protect it. We chose to grow our cardamom using natural and organic farming methods, just as nature intended. Even today, we continue natural farming to keep our land healthy and beautiful.
In 2006, we welcomed our first guest Dr. Triche and family to our boutique plantation resort. We protected the trees and preserved the natural beauty around us, so every guest could enjoy the same peaceful feeling that made us fall in love with this place.
Today, Ambady Estate is proudly known as one of the Best Resorts in Munnar, offering the perfect blend of comfort, peace, and nature. Whether you're looking for a Luxury Resort in Munnar or a peaceful Nature Resort in Munnar, we invite you to experience the beauty of Munnar with us.
Every morning, the gentle chirping of Hornbills, Malabar Whistling Thrushes, Sunbirds, Woodpeckers, and many other birds welcomes you to a new day. Colourful butterflies fly through our cardamom plantations, and during different seasons, beautiful migratory birds also visit our estate. Every walk here brings you closer to nature and leaves you with memories you'll always cherish.

Our 70-acre Cardamom Plantation stretches across the estate, with cardamom growing alongside coffee, pepper, seasonal produce, trees and flowering plants.
Early mornings are often filled with birdsong. Butterflies move through the greenery, and the scent of the plantation follows you along the trails.
Depending on the season, guests can walk through the plantation, learn how cardamom is grown and, when available, experience activities such as cardamom harvesting and Arabica coffee picking.
For anyone looking for a Plantation Resort in Munnar, this is an opportunity to experience the landscape rather than simply admire it.
