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.

Quick Getaways from
Munnar
Anaimudi Peak
Anaimudi is the highest peak in south India. You can trek to the base of the peak from Eravikulam0 National Park. But you need the permission of the District Forest Officer (Tel: 530487).
Rajamalai
Their claims to fame are the blue Kurinji, or Neelakurinji flowers that paint the hills of Rajamalai blue every 12 years. Plan a trip this year (2006) and you can feast your eyes.
