Munnar - Picturesque Hill Station

Munnar is the picturesque hill station, which remains in the itinerary of every visitor to Kerala by default. It is synonymous with its tea estates, exotic peaks located in the Western Ghats at the height of 6000 feet. It was discovered by the British emperors and used as the summer resort. Dews on tea leaves make the appearance of this aspect of human indulgence even more beautiful. This is the first image of Munnar when its name is uttered which is later piled with the other reasons of its fame which is why it is so much loved by the routine travelers along with those who have heard it enough times to have a strong desire to see it at least once.

The valley is also famous for the Neelakurinji flowers that bloom once in 12 years, when the entire valley is blanketed by purple flowers. To be appropriate, Scottish people were the first to identify the potential of this hill and the Duke of Wellington was the first notable personality to visit Munnar. Then, the British developed this land for the purpose of tea plantations and as getaways from the heat of summers. There are several prehistoric relics that point towards the existence of Stone Age civilization in this region. Evidence reveals the fact that written history began here only from the 10th century. 2 nights of stay here is advisable for the visitors to enjoy the most of its beauty.
