Of Waterfalls, Valleys, and Tea
Munnar is a charming town and picturesque hill station in Kerala's Western Ghats. Located at an elevation of 6000 feet in the Idukki region, it was the summer retreat of British rulers during colonial times. It is famous for its green belt of lush woods, endless tea farms, and being home to endangered animal species such as the Neelakurinji and Nilgiri Tahr. It is among the most popular tourist attractions in South India due to its clean valleys, mountains, and diverse flora and wildlife.
The zigzagging road along the hills leading to Kolukkumalai tea garden is truly jaw-dropping.
Trekking to elevations like Echo Point and Top Station is among the most popular activities to do.
One can enjoy a boat ride at Asia's first artificially-built arch dam on their way to Top Station.
