Munnar: what to expect
Munnar is a hill station of tea estates and rolling green slopes in the Western Ghats, at around 1,600 metres. The landscape is the draw: tea in every direction, cool air and misty mornings.
It is one of the most popular stops on any Kerala circuit, and the drive up from the plains is part of the experience.
