Why Munnar is worth the trip
Munnar sits between 1,450 and 1,700 m in the Idukki district of Kerala, where three mountain streams — Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundaly — meet. It was once the summer retreat of the British, and its slopes are still covered in some of the world’s finest tea estates.
Munnar is also home to the endangered Nilgiri tahr in Eravikulam National Park, and to the Neelakurinji, a shrub that turns the hills blue once every 12 years. Our tour covers the classic Munnar circuit, from Mattupetty Dam to Top Station, with time to taste fresh tea and spices.
Tour highlights
- Endless tea estates and the Tata Tea Museum
- Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point and Kundala Lake
- Top Station — views across the Tamil Nadu plains
- Eravikulam National Park, home of the Nilgiri tahr (seasonal)
- Attukad and Thoovanam waterfalls
