Located at about 1,600 metres above the sea level, Munnar is a beautiful hill station in the district of ldukki, Kerala.
Once a summer resort for the British, Munnar is known for its pleasant climate and pristine beauty. The rolling hills covered in mist, intersected by the winding road, the dark emerald green coloured plantations, and the few lone houses in their midst, will make you fall in love with this place instantly.
Munnar is also an ideal place for nature lovers, wildlife lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike. You can indulge in boating, trekking and paragliding. Munnar rises as three mountain streams merge – Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala.
Among the flora found in the forests and grasslands here is the Neelakurinji. This flower which bathes the hills in blue once in every twelve years will bloom next in 2018. Munnar also has the highest peak in South India, Anamudi, which towers over 2,695 metres.
Some of the main attractions here are the Eravikulam National Park, Mattupetty Dam, Pallivasal, Munnar Tea Museum, trekking to Chokramudy, Kundala Dam etc.
