Munnar Tourism

Famous for the tea estates, greenery, winding roads, blanket of mist, and viewpoints, Munnar is a hill station in Kerala, located in the Idukki district. Lying in the Western Ghats at 1600 metres, it is one of the most sought after and visited travel destinations globally, especially popular amongst honeymooners.

Once the summer resort of the erstwhile British government, the main reason to visit Munnar is to explore the sprawling tea plantations and the exotic flora and fauna. The Eravikulam National Park, Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary and tea plantations are its major attractions. Munnar is also famous for being home to the rare Neelakurinji flowers that bloom once in 12 years (the next bloom is in 2030) and the endangered Nilgiri Tahr.

Munnar is divided into Old Munnar, where the tourist information office is, and Munnar, where the bus station and most guest houses are located. It is also an ideal place for trekking, camping, paragliding and boating. As it's a hilly region, Jeep safari is also a popular activity to experience. Munnar is often visited along with Alleppey and Thekkady, the two most popular tourist destinations in Kerala.

The hill station is a haven for shopping for tea and spices. Cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, coffee and a variety of homemade chocolates can be bought from the number of shops spread across the hill town.

Anamudi Peak remains closed to visitors from February to March.
The Tata Tea Museum remains closed on Mondays, so plan your trip accordingly.
There's a reservation fee of INR 50 to visit Eravikulam National Park. The counters are open from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM.
The best time to go trekking in Munnar is right after the monsoons and before summers since the routes are covered with rainforests which can get slippery during monsoons.
