(Kerala)


Tea Country

Roads winding like serpents amid lush greens abloom with wayside flowers, picture-postcard villages, miles and miles of tea plantations. And that is not all! People exchanging a gossip or two over piping hot tea/coffee at the small wayside shops a trip uphill to Munnar will be etched for ever in one?s memory. The misty hills of Munnar tucked in at the confluence of three rivers- Muthirapuzha, Nallathani and Kundala, is amongst the most sought after honeymoon destinations in south India, and a must see for anyone coming to Kerala.

When to Visit:
Barring June to August when the southwestern monsoon brings incessant rains, Munnar can be visited anytime of the year. Temperatures range between 15°C and 25°C in summers and between 0°C to 10°C in winters. But irrespective of the season, carry warm clothing as the wind tends to turn nippy late evenings and early mornings. If you want to get wet, visit Munnar during the rains. You feel as if you can touch the the rumbling black rain laden clouds.
Orientation & Getting Around:
Buses do go out from the depot in Munnar Town, but when and where to are unsolved mysteries. We never got around to solving this mystery. But that doesn?t let us from dissuading you. There are plenty of autos to speed you to your destination. They are overpriced but with no other alternative, you have to give in. For longer distances and day-long excursions, you can hire cars or SUVs from the hotel or tour operators in Munnar Town.
