Munnar

(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.

Travel Tips
  • Carry warm clothing. There?s always a nip in the air.

  • Mosquitoes and leeches rule the woods. So when walking, wear shoes and carry salt.

  • It is part of local tradition to leave your footwear outside before entering a home.

  • If venturing out after dark, carry a torch. The nights are pitch dark and there are no street lights.

  • Ask for directions at the hotel you are staying in as most locals can't understand anything other than Malayalam and a smattering of Tamil.
