About Munnar
Munnar is Kerala's green roof — a former British hill station at 1,600 meters, surrounded by the most beautiful tea plantations in South India. The endless emerald green tea fields stretching across the hills of the Western Ghats are an unforgettable sight. The cool mountain air, rare Neelakurinji flowers (which bloom only every 12 years), and the last habitat of the endangered Nilgiri Tahr make Munnar a natural jewel of Kerala.
