ബാബു ചേട്ടനും ബ്ലാങ്കറ്റും
Before the first brick was laid, long before the mist greeted our first guests at Blanket, Babu Chettan was already here. For nearly two decades, dating right back to our construction days, he has stood by us, watching a hillside dream slowly take shape.
Born and brought up in Attukad, these hills are more than just home to him. They are a part of who he is. He knows their soil, their seasons, and the quiet beauty of Munnar in a way only someone who has grown up here can.
Every morning, he walks these gardens with a watering can in his hand.
“This isn’t just a hotel to me,” he says. “It’s like a temple. And every sapling, every flowers here… they are my children.”
Ask him about the plants here, and you’ll understand how much they mean to him. He knows them, looks after them every day, and feels a quiet happiness when someone stops to admire a flower he has nurtured.
True hospitality isn’t just about architecture or scenic views; it lives in the soul of the people who pour their hearts into this land every single morning. It is held together by hearts like Babu Chettan’s.
Whenever your travels bring you back to our hills, if you spot Babu Chettan tending to the gardens, take a moment to say hello. Munnar’s kindest smile will be waiting for you.
