Transfer to Munnar & Tea Plantation

On the way there, you will make a stop at a tea plantation for lunch, where you’ll have the chance to meet a local family and learn about their life and work. After lunch, continue the drive to Munnar, where you will check in at your hotel once you have arrived. Munnar, perched at an elevation of about 6,000 feet, is a place of serene beauty, surrounded by mist-covered hills. The views here are simply stunning, with the fragrant scents of tea, coffee, and cardamom drifting from the nearby plantations. In the distance, you'll see Anai Mudi, the highest peak in Kerala, along with the tropical forests of Anamalai Sanctuary in Tamil Nadu and Eravikulam National Park in Kerala. Eravikulam is home to the Nilgiri Tahr, a rare species of mountain goat found only in this region. The drive around Munnar offers scenic views, and visitors can trek to a tranquil stream where trout are bred. The surrounding hills, covered in lush green slopes and dense shola forests, provide a haven for a variety of bird species. Nilgiri langurs, lion-tailed macaques, and other monkeys are also commonly seen. In the evening, take a leisurely walk through Munnar’s local market. Stroll through the lively market, where you'll find food stalls, bakeries selling homemade chocolates, and shops offering groceries and souvenirs. One section of the market is dedicated to fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats, giving you a taste of the everyday life of this charming hill station.
