FREEDOM HOUSE, Munnar – A Backpackers Hostel

Nestled deep in the misty forests of Munnar, FREEDOM HOUSE, Munnar – A Backpackers Hostel is a hidden backpackers’ escape located within a sprawling 100-acre cardamom plantation, surrounded by towering rainforest trees, mountain mist, natural streams, and untouched wilderness.

It was such a nice stay. The location is a bit remote but the hosts are so warm and really welcoming. The people that I met there were few of the most amazing people. I loved it for my first solo trip experience 🌟

It was an amazing stay! The people were incredibly friendly and the vibes were great. The place was beautiful, situated on top of a hill with a waterfall right nearby. The guys who ran the place , Uday, Siloko, and Lucky, were truly kind and helpful. I originally planned to stay for a day, but I ended up extending my stay for another. I made so many friends and highly recommend this place to anyone.
