Munnar,India
Munnar is a breathtakingly beautiful tourist destination located in God’s Own Country, Kerala, and is one of the most celebrated hill stations in South India. Set at an altitude of around 1600 metres above sea level, Munnar is known for its cool climate, rolling hills, and vast stretches of lush green tea plantations that shape its landscape. The region is surrounded by mist covered mountains, winding roads, and scenic viewpoints that offer peaceful and refreshing surroundings throughout the year. Munnar’s natural beauty is complemented by its rich biodiversity, with nearby forests, waterfalls, and wildlife sanctuaries adding to its charm. The calm atmosphere, fresh mountain air, and stunning scenery make Munnar an ideal retreat for nature lovers, couples, and travellers seeking relaxation. Blending natural elegance with a quiet hill station lifestyle, Munnar continues to be one of Kerala’s most loved and memorable destinations.
