About Munnar

Munnar is a popular hill-station of Kerala perched at an altitude of 1600 metres in the Western Ghats. Famous for its tea estates, various shades of green, blankets of mist and craggy peaks, Munnar is aptly known as the 'Kashmir of South India'.

Situated on the banks of three rivers- Madupetti, Nallathanni and Periavaru, Munnar is also blessed with natural view-points apart from the tea-plantations. Munnar is divided into Old Munnar, where the tourist information office is, and Munnar, where the bus station and most guest houses are located

The Eravikulam National Park, Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary and tea plantations are its major attractions.

Trekkers would love the trails from Gap Road to Bison Valley Spices Village and from Pothamedu.
