Munnar: The Story Behind A Cup of Tea

Munnar is famously described as the place where ‘clouds hang among the tea gardens’. This enchanting little town, nestled in the hills of Kerala, Munnar, is among India’s top, most travelled hill stations. It lays snuggled at the confluence of three rivers, namely Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala. The scenic tea gardens of Munnar owe their roots to the British planters who first cleared the hills to cultivate tea on the slopes.

But beyond those beautifully aromatic tea gardens, Munnar has a lot more to offer when you want to enjoy a quick getaway with your near and dear ones. Be ready to have your own story full of adventure and enjoyment on this piece of heaven.

 

Route to Adventure

You can reach this spectacular landscape via many routes. The best ones could be from the town Kochi (Cochin), which is just 130 km away or via the town Kottayam, which is 142 km.

Throughout the trip, you will encounter the lush green patches of coconut trees, the pristine and unending acres of tea gardens, beautiful valleys and some exotic species of flora and fauna. Munnar has something for everyone.
