(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.

It is best to drive up to Munnar from Kochi (130 km) or Coimbatore (150 km). There are regular buses, private as well as state run, from these two cities.

The buses though safe, may take the steep hairpin bends a bit too fast making the old people throw-up.

Munnar does not have an airport. The Cochin International Airport 130 km away is the nearest airhead serviced by flights to Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi and Kolkata. From Cochin, there are plenty of luxury buses as well as private cabs that can be hired to get to Munnar.
