Munnar — Tea plantations stretching across the hills of Munnar

Munnar

Kerala's tea capital, layered with plantations, Eravikulam National Park and cottage stays above the clouds.

Ideal duration
3 – 4 days

Munnar stacks tea estates, Eravikulam National Park and cottage stays above the clouds into a compact two- to three-night trip from Kochi or Madurai.

Roads are good but winding; a chauffeur-driven SUV keeps the estate roads and early-morning park slots manageable.
