Munnar

Nestled at an altitude of around 1,600 metres in the Western Ghats, Munnar is blanketed by some of the highest tea plantations in the world. The endless terraces of emerald green stretch across mountain ridges and valley slopes, creating one of South India's most dramatic landscapes. Visitors can stroll through working tea estates, sample fresh brews at the KDHP Tea Museum, and explore Eravikulam National Park to spot the endangered Nilgiri Tahr. Serene spots like Mattupetty Dam offer perfect picnic settings, while adventurous souls can trek Anamudi Peak, the highest in South India. With clear skies and cool weather, it is a magnificent destination year-round, especially renowned for the rare Neelakurinji wildflowers that bloom every twelve years.
