This place is definitely one of the best places in India to visit. An ideal place for a couple for their sweet honeymoon. No disturbance around, admiring nature and complete privacy often accompany visitors who come to this place to relax completely and spend a good time with their companions. Dont beleive?? Then just check out some of these pics.....


This is an early morning view of the greatest hill station of India. Looking at the picture, mist and cool breeze enlighten the morning scenary. The mist covers the mountains so beautifully that it looks as if the mountains are covered with a warm blanket of snow. All this gives a great start to the tour of Munnar.





The glory of Munnar lies in this place. The great lake on which the Mattupetty dam is built. This is one of the major tourist attracting spots of this hill station, not just because of the lake, but also because of the scenary covering this part. Beautiful mountains give a pose as never before. The whole set of this lake compliments each other in enhancing the beauty of this place.





Munnar is one place where beauty comes before anything else. Any person coming to this place is awesomely dazzled when he looks at the scenary around him, just like this pic. Munnar is blessed with the extreme speciality of Kerala,,, "backwaters". Yes, this is something which supports life at this place. Backwaters form the backbone of the natural scenary of this place.





Munnar is located in the state of Kerala in India. This breath-taki
ng place is located on the Southern Western Ghats in the Idukki district. The altitude of this place is about 1600 to 1800 mts above sea level, which affects its temperature to range between 10 to 25 degrees celcius. The ideal time to visit this place is august-sept-october zone, coz this place is, at that time, genuinely adorned by the beauty of mother nature. To reach Munnar, its advisable to travel to Cochin(ernakulam) by air or land, and then by a cab to the high mountains which is about a 6 hour journey by road.



As popular, Kerala is known for its numerous backwaters and waterfalls. Munnar keeps Kerala's head high in this aspect. While from Cochin towards Munnar, one finds hundreds of streams forming the outlet of a major waterfall shown in the pic on the right. The water from the streams is ultrapure coz it penetrates rock soil and is extremely tasty. Drink this water for a few days continously and you ll get rid of all the sickness and infections. An extremely photogenic region, these fountains and water streams & falls, form the major tourist attractions. Standing at a least distance from running water which is extremely pure is a heavenly feeling. It makes you get rid of all the tensions in life. Thats why most people prefer Munnar for a holiday.

Munnar has numerous sight seeing spots such as the wild life sanctuary, and gardens. But as said in the Kodaikanal post i would suggest you hire a cab and ask the cabby to take you to a place which is naturegenic. And beleive me, the sites you ll see, will make you say WOW!!!! Coz this place is absolutely filled with a lot of scenary, water streams and grenary everywhere. A person can spend a whole day on the outskirts of munnar enjoying the lush green mountains and enjoying the best scenaries in the world.


And if you want to roam in the interior of Munnar, there are loads of options. The mighty famous lake of Munnar is one of the best options. Get a boat ride on the lake and you get to see amazing views of the place and whatmore, you enter the elephant zone in the boat, where you get to see the herd of elephants. This is one of the rarest sights on the planet. This makes this place a lot more famous. On the lake is built the Mattupetty dam, which is also an amazing photo taking zone.

And one of the most important things to be done at this place is to visit the tea gardens of this region. This region is one of the oldest tea cultivating regions in the world. It was started by the British and later due to huge popularity adopted by the natives. The tea gardens by themselves are a major tourist spot, coz they cover huge mountains and look as if the mountain had a smooth even surface, they cover all the trenches and ridges of the mountains. Tea plants spread over 1000's of hectares make the area look so beautiful and the climate of this place is ideal for drinking tea. So if you visit this region then dont forget to have a taste of the brilliant tea which refreshes you every moment.
