About Munnar

The hill station of Munnar is situated in the Idukki District in the eastern part of Kerala, borderingthe state of Tamil Nadu. Popularly known as Kashmir of the South, Munnar is well connected toall the cities in Kerala.

Munnar is located amidst mist-covered mountain ranges and evergreen forests of the WesternGhats, at a varying altitude of 1,600 m (5,249 ft) to 1,800 m (5,906 ft) above mean sea level, atthe foot hills of Anamudi, the highest peak of the Western Ghats (2,695 m).

History of Munnar

The name Munnar was aptly given to this place since it is located at the convergence of threerivers, which are Mudrapuzha, Nallathani and Kundala. The vast tea estates and coffeeplantations are the primary base for the flourishing economy of Munnar, besides tourism.

The recorded history of Munnar can be dated back to the 10th century, though many pre-historic relics linking Munnar to the Stone Age has been discovered. During the 17th century, agroup of people of Tamil origin, known by the name Muthuvans migrated to Munnar and theysettled at Munnar and nearby areas.

By the 19th century, Munnar had become a part of Anchunadu, a small tribal kingdom believedto be one among the earliest tribal settlements of South India. The fertile soil of Munnar wasused for the cultivation of cardamom, ginger, etc. in those days.

It was the Spanish planters who brought Munnar to the limelight and the first notable personalityto visit this place was the Duke of Wellington. John Daniel Munro from the British East IndiaCompany visited Munnar around the middle of the 19th century and he gathered permission toacquire 588 sq. km. of land from the Maharaja of Poonjar.

With the assistance from Kannan Thevar, the tribal chief of Anchunadu, Mr. Manro and hiscompanions took over some of the mountains and hills of Munnar. In 1895 Messrs Finlay Muir &Company procured Munros land and in 1976 Tata-Finlay Ltd. procured it.

Featured review about MunnarMUNNAR carpeted with tea gardens"Munnar is a place fully carpeted with tea gardens in a unique style, with wonderful climate, cooland a peaceful place. Not at all polluted, easily accessible, just four and half hours drive fromCochin airport, with beautiful landscaping, waterfalls & wild life makes it really beautiful. Thehighest tea plantations at Kolukkumulai Tea Estae is at a 8000 ft, we had a bumpy jeep ride butthe view is really beautiful and exotic, its a MUST SEE this Organic Tea Factory, 75 years old.. I really loved Munnar and would love to visit it again.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Good Seafood is available here, Veg and non- veg both areavailable in the city restauarants, we liked their local snacks made in coconut oil Acchappamand banana wafers. Even home made chocolates are available here.SpicesNatural face packs, oils, aloevera gel and soaps are worth shopping. Tea gardens, flowergardens, kolukkumalai tea estate, Mattupatty dam, Rajamalai National park and Chinnar wildlife Sanctuary are a must visit not to be missed out.

Activities & things to do: Trekking, shopping, Ayurvedic massages and spa. The location itselfis so beautiful you would never want to mis any of its glimpse. You can also find wild elephantshere,if you want to see them you could find them early morning during sunrise near the lakes.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: The nearest airport and railway station toMunnar are at Kochi, which is 130 km away. Many buses and taxis ply to Munnar from Kochi,Coimbatore and Madurai. Nearest railway station to Munnar is Aluva which is 120 Kilometersaway and Ernakulam Town and Ernakulam Junction which are 130 kms ...But the ride is with lots of twists and turns so do take care of your medications." - Rehana ,Mumbai, 2 years ago

Astoundingly beautiful!"Munnar is one of the most beautiful places in India that I have visited to date. Nestled amonggreen hills, the natural beauty of the place takes your breath away. Visitors to Munnar should, inmy opinion, book a room in a hotel high up in the hills which serves good food and laze the dayaway among the clouds. There is nothing to do in Munnar town itself. The only advantage ofstaying in town is proximity to the food joints. None of them being worth more than a mention,you would do well to live among the clouds.

Gently rolling hills, tightly carpeted with green tea bushes or the tall, thin eucalyptus is thestandard and very soothing sight that one can expect when one visits Munnar. Since we wereclose to plucking season on our visit, the hills had a fresh, young, green look to them, verypleasing. Another wonder of Munnar is the clouds that descend on the hills from early afternoononwards. They float like gauze over the hills, inexorably covering everything in sight with awhite, semi-transparent film. Although we stayed at town-level and not in the hills, the cloudscame right down to town to meet us, one evening. Staying up in one of the hotels that are builtinto the mountainside would be a great way of lazing away the days but only if you have no

health problems. The hotels in the hills generally involve a steep drive up the hill and are builton multiple levels that involve a fair degree of climbing to access say, the restaurant or otheramenities. Not for the elderly, people susceptible to the cold or couples with young kids who willneed to be carried at some point of time. Again, if you are on a budget trip, then the petrol countmatters, so staying in town is better in that case, since it is closer to the tourist spots.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: The weather in late October was cool and positively cold inthe evenings. After dinner, as I sat in the hotel lobby, I watched guests walk out for a post-prandial walk and nip smartly back in before they had taken more than two steps. The wind isbitingly cold on the days that it rains (and it rained almost every afternoon that we were there).Do carry warm clothes if you plan to go in the October-January period.

The dearth of eating places in a town that advertises itself as the Kashmir of South India isdisappointing. We ate at Gurus but hesitatingly as the place seems to be a local eatery for thelower classes. The fish fry was nice though and the waiter enthusiastic. Surya Soma lookedcleaner and served a great fish fry. The Kerala fish curry here is authentic and very, very spicyand burned our tongues. There are plenty of eating places in Munnar but hygiene was a littledoubtful in most of them. Hotels are a plenty. Check the room and the view out beforeregistering if you are there in the non-peak season. Dont go without a booking in the peakseason. There are power outages in Munnar so be sure to carry a torch if you intend to goexploring in the nights. Night exploring is not advisable though since the fog is out in strength atthat time. The beauty in the day is, on the other hand, unforgettable.

Activities & things to do: Munnar has a number of tourist attractions, all within 15 kms of thetown. Matupetty Dam is set in a breathtakingly beautiful background of hills and woods, the bluewaters of the dam adding to the charms of the natural scenery. One of the most panoramicbackgrounds I have come across and a wonderful photo opportunity. Echo Point is a dammedup narrow twist of the river which, by the way, does throw back echoes if you call out loudlyenough. There isnt much to do at either of the points except perhaps shop for knic-knacks andhome-made chocolate at double the cost in town. Echo Point boasts of paddle boating (withcompulsory life jackets). Mid-way between both points is Kundala Lake where you can gospeed-boating. There is a beautiful flower garden about 1 km outside the town which althoughsmall, houses a variety of flowers that would please most flower lovers. Unfortunately, the lackof space means the flowers are displayed in a row of pots rather than in a natural setting butnevertheless, do stop for a quick visit. There is a Tea Museum about 2 kms from town run bythe Kannan Devan Company. Here, for the exorbitant sum of Rs.75 per head, the workerslecture the visitors in highly accented and largely un-understandable English about the processof tea-making. If you have landed at the right time, you can see the machines in motion and thetea powder coming out at one end of the machinery. But we didnt or at least if we did, I didntcotton on to the event. A complete waste of time in my opinion. A few other attractions arePeriyakanal falls and the National Park. If you go to the National Park, go early as the queuesare long and the Nilgiri Taal (mountain goat) gets more elusive as the day progresses. Cars arenot allowed beyohd a point in the National Park, so be prepared for a long walk here. Do checkon the timings of the tourist spots before setting out on a sightseeing tour. The speed-boating at

Page 5/18

Kundala Lake shuts down for an afternoon siesta at 2:30 pm while the Tea Museum shuts downat 4:30 pm. Entry fee for most of these attractions ranges between Rs.5 to Rs.10 per head withsome places charging an extra Rs.10 for a camera.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food:

Non-vegetarians have many options. But options for veggies are few. They include:a) Saravana Bhavan in the town centre, where you can enjoy authentic south indian food. Greatfood, but the place is very crowded and place is a bit crampedb) Mahaveer restaurant : offers North Indian food, including Gujarati, Rajasthani thalis. Food isok, but rates are exorbitant.c) Purohit restaurant : is in Hotel Dhanyashree and offers North indian food.
