Kerala Diaries: Munnar.
Munnaaar is a lovely hill station with endless span of tea plantations
and exotic species of flora and fauna. I simply loved this place. The cool
breeze of the beautiful hills and valleys makes it a perfect summer
destination.
The hotel we stayed in provided a beautiful site of the tea gardens from the room’s huge glass window. Climate was pleasant, making our three day stay perfectly convenient. The spa, beauty salons and massage parlors are famous here for being a natural treatment to erase all the stress of daily life. We had a complete rejuvenating experience.
As we explore the town, the roads are completely covered by tea gardens on the either sides. Stop by the Echo point, to have a good walk/trek in the tea, coffee and spices plantations. We stopped at a tea-estate en-route from where morning rays dribbling through the mist, z-curved roads, progressing hills, a township from a distance and a huge tea-factory were seen. To know more on the tea plantations and processing, there is TATA Tea Museum. We skipped it off, as we had already seen one such in Ooty.
We visited the Mattupetty Dam about 10kms
from the town, where the confluence of three mountain streams happens. Boating
is very popular here where one can enjoy blissfully cool climate in the serene
waters with picturesque landscape. A Rose Garden in the area is a must visit.
It’s a perfect spot where you don’t mind spending a complete day.
Next on the travel route is Anayirangal, a lake in backdrop of dense tea estates is a scenic location about 20km from the town. The fact that the forest elephants drink water in this lake draws the name- elephant lake. Apart from these, we stopped at several places on the way, and each stop proved to be picturesque and great new exploration.
