Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Transfer to Munnar and Plantation Walk
The morning begins with your drive from Cochin to Munnar, a journey that gradually moves from coastal areas into the cooler hills of Kerala. The route offers changing scenery, and there is time for short refreshment stops along the way. As the road climbs, you start to see the landscape that has made Munnar one of the most noted hill stations in South India. Set at an altitude of over six thousand feet, Munnar is known for its wide stretches of tea, coffee and cardamom plantations, along with forested slopes and clear mountain streams. The area is also the habitat of the Nilgiri Thar, an endangered mountain species that can sometimes be seen on the grassy ridges and rocky edges surrounding the town. The setting highlights why Munnar is often included in Kerala itineraries that combine nature, plantations and cooler climates. You arrive around midday and check in at the hotel before sitting down to a late lunch. The rest of the afternoon is free for a gentle walk through nearby tea estates or along paths that run through the hills. These routes offer an easy introduction to the region’s plantations and natural features, allowing you to experience Munnar at a comfortable pace.
