Arrival at Chandy’s Windy Woods
12th May, We arrived at this beautiful town on Mother’s Day.The blue dawn and the morning ride was truly amazing from Cumbum to Munnar. That stretch of 70 km through Mountain ghats made us speechless.

I love Indian food. Local Cuisine has the true essence of any Place. Food connects people to Culture. And when you are in Kerala, never dare to miss Kerala Cuisine. Starting from Appam to Payasam, there are so much to try at Chandys Windy Woods, Munnar.
Our first-day lunch was a satisfying Kerala spread overlooking the Tea-plantation. The multi-cuisine restaurant has an open lovely place. One can feel the clouds while relishing Mutton Roast with fluffy Appam. 🙂
This ‘Karimeen Pollichathu‘ was outstanding. The explosion of flavours was beyond imagination. The fish was wrapped with a banana leaf and cooked with a creamy blend of spices and coconut milk.
A huge spread od South-Indian, as well as North-Indian food, was there in the Breakfast and Dinner Buffet. That’s a glass of Chaya (Tea with Milk) that I enjoyed with Putt and Kadla Curry. A popular breakfast combination in Kerala.
