Surrounded by high peaks, symmetric layers of tea estates, mountain mist, waterfalls and wildlife sanctuaries; Munnar is a place to truly switch off and unwind or be a bit adventurous. This charming hill station in Kerala is perfect for scenic walks through the plantations, trekking, rafting, adventure sports or for simply admiring its stunning evergreen vistas while enjoying a cup of tea.
Munnar can easily be part of your Kerala tour as it is easily accessible from Cochin and Periyar Wildlife sanctuary. For wildlife lovers, we recommend a visit to the nearby Rajamala National Park as its home to lion tailed macaques, elephants and ‘nilgiri tahr’, a rare endangered species of mountain goat. Birdwatching enthusiasts will appreciate a day visit to the Thattekad Bird Sanctuary. Dr. Salim Ali, one of the best known ornithologists, described this sanctuary as the richest bird habitat on peninsular India. A visit to Munnar is incomplete without a plantation tour. We recommend staying at one of the many charming planter’s bungalows that date back to colonial times.
