Munnar in Kerala


This charming hill station perched at an altitude of 1600m. amidst lush undulating hills of Anamalai ranges is one of the most popular tourist destinations of Kerala. Munnar (literally meaning three rivers) is set at the confluence of three mountain streams – Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala. It was once the summer capital of the British in South India and still retains an aura of old world elegance. The beautiful landscape is dotted with lakes, reservoirs, lush forests and sprawling tea estates. Pepper, rubber and cardamom plantations lend a distinct aroma to the cool and bracing climate of the hill resort. Anamudi (2695 m.), the highest peak in South India is located nearby and is an ideal spot for trekking. The main attractions of Munnar are Christ Church and Tea Gardens.
