Twelve property owners meet in Munnar town and form an informal forum.

Munnar receives millions of visitors a year, yet much of that value leaves the hills. Our members decided to change that by pooling marketing, standardising quality and creating a listing platform where a guest can reach the owner directly.

Today MDM represents properties across Munnar town, Chithirapuram, Pallivasal, Anachal, Devikulam and Vattavada — from four-room family homestays to heritage estate bungalows.
