Welcome to Poonchira

Nature, at its most honest

Elaveezhapoonchira — the valley where leaves don't fall — is one of Kerala's least-touched hill stations, wrapped by the Mankunnu, Kodayathoormal and Thonippara hillocks. This is where we've built a resort around slowing down.

Cozy, charming rooms

Bamboo huts and home stays designed to keep you close to the hillside climate, not shut away from it.

Rest in a wide-open valley

Four hillocks, one verdant valley, and some of Kerala's best sunrise and sunset views from Kudayathoor Vindhyan.

Earn every view

Guided treks, off-road jeep trails and campfires — led by pathfinders who grew up on these hills.

Off-road & on-foot

Enjoy a spectacular ride

Bamboo huts here borrow their stylish, secure construction from tradition and craft. Beyond the hut, the hills open up to off-road adventures in four-wheel-drive jeeps and long treks into wilderness most visitors never reach.

Pathfinders lead every trek — locals who know each stream crossing, hidden waterfall and rock formation on the way. Transport is handled entirely in our own 4x4 jeeps.
