Overview

Munnar is one of the most iconic hill stations in India, located in the Idukki district of Kerala. Nestled at an altitude of around 1,600 meters above sea level, Munnar is known for its endless stretches of tea plantations, mist-covered valleys, rolling hills, and cool mountain climate. Once a favored summer retreat of the British colonial administration, Munnar has grown into a world-renowned tourist destination that attracts honeymoon couples, nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers from across the globe. The region is defined by its unique geography, where three mountain streams—Mudhirapuzha, Nallathanni, and Kundala—merge to form the beautiful landscape that Munnar is famous for.
