Best Munnar Day Trips & Things to Do

Munnar enchants with rolling tea-covered hills, misty valleys, and cool mountain air. Once a retreat for British colonial officers, this highland haven now draws travelers to its sprawling plantations, like the historic Munnar Tea Museum and Lockhart Tea Estate. Winding trails through Anamudi, South India’s highest peak, lure trekkers, while tranquil Meesapulimala and Echo Point offer serene vistas. Nearby, the aromatic spice gardens and cascading Kundala Lake add charm, and the rare Neelakurinji flowers—blooming once every 12 years—paint the hills blue when in season.
