The Evening Arc: Chai, BBQ, Buffet, Campfire
A verified Munnar camp day runs on a delicious rhythm. You arrive to evening tea and hot snacks after the sunset ridge walk, then the campfire is lit and live barbecue skewers — chicken and paneer/veg — start coming off the grill while the sky does its colour show. Dinner follows as an authentic Kerala buffet, and the night settles into acoustic campfire time with stargazing.
This is all included in Aanandham all-inclusive packages (tent stays from ₹1,899) — unlike roadside operators who advertise a low stay price and then charge separately for food, firewood and “BBQ access”. When comparing the best camps in Munnar, compare the plate, not just the tent.
- Evening tea & snacks on arrival from the ridge walk
- Live campfire BBQ: chicken + veg/paneer skewers
- Kerala dinner buffet: rice, curries, chapatis, salads
- Acoustic campfire circle & Milky Way stargazing after dinner
Morning: Appam, Puttu, Poori & Mountain Tea
Mountain mornings start early — especially on Kolukkumalai sunrise days when the 4:30 AM jeep convoy rolls before dawn. On return (or on slow mornings at valley camps like Suryanelli), breakfast is a hot Kerala spread: appam with stew, puttu with kadala, poori-masala and endless mountain tea with mist views.
Suryanelli Valley campers get a farm-to-table slant with local produce, while dome stays like Tentvilla add plated breakfast options on Day 2. Either way, nobody treks hungry here.
Vegetarians, Spice Levels & What Costs Extra
Vegetarians eat very well at our camps — paneer BBQ, veg curries, dal, salads and the full breakfast spread are standard, not an afterthought. Share dietary counts (veg/non-veg, Jain, allergies) before arrival and the kitchen plans portions accordingly; group bookings of 20+ do this as routine.
What can cost extra: premium BBQ platters per person at select ridge camps, dining-bay à la carte dinners at resort-style domes, and personal snacks or beverages. The rule is simple — if it is in your package inclusions list, it is on the house. Read that list, not just the headline price.
