Set at an altitude of 6000ft in Idukki district of kerala, Munnar ,was once the most favored summer retreat of the erstwhile British rulers in colonial days. Unending expanses of tea plantations, pristine valleys, exotic species of flora & fauna, and aroma of spices and cool chill in the air ,makes Munnar a all time favourite destination all tourists visiting kerala . It is considered as the largest tea growing region of south India. The emerald green tea plantations are contoured ,clipped and sculptured like ornamental hedges , alongside the low western ghats, making magnificent scenery...often one is above the clouds, watching the veils of mists clinging to mountain tops, making every visitor speechless, as they look across.....
As one step into the Munnar hills ,the fresh air , the smell of the woods all across and cascading waterfalls ,starts giving in a holiday mood....Though roads all across the hills are quite narrow ,terrible traffic jams takes place often as one drives up hills . The drive is so thrilling that no one wish to miss a chance to keep enjoying those uphill climb and all those scenic beauties all across the climb.......As those tea estates starts on ,u can get sure that munnar town isn't very far off .....all across the hill climb hundreds of resorts keep welcoming all visitors for a stay ...its alway better to get ones booking done prior as Munnar is an all season destination....The town centre though ,is very congested, but ,being a tiny hill town ,no place is too far away , so every hotel/ resort got a beautiful view to enjoy a stay.....
MY EXPERIENCE SURROUNDING THE EMERALD HILLS OF MUNNAR:
Since I was driving all the way from kozikode via Athirpally waterfalls, by the time we checked into our hotel room it was quite dark. We were 2 ladies travelling ,so didnt wish to venture out at night instead take rest and wait for the day break ....A mystic morning woke us up and we had to plan out of day activities and places to see .....but I alway put the tea estate view on a first priority.... after sumptuous breakfast ,we firstly planned out to head for the tea estates across the hills ,which we missed out while on our onward journey......As we came out of our hotel room, we found that the tea estates are all around and the chill in the air making the surrounding so so beautiful....Everywhere our eyes turned its emerald green with azure blue sky in its backdrop ....my joy saw no boundaries.....my camera lens kept clicking every inch of it ....I was so so happy to enjoy this beauty , was missing my husband a lot, as he too loves to travel a lot .....after quite sometimes at the tea estate , thought to go for a tea factory visit and get some spl tea to carry back home .....I loved those apple ice tea, peach tea ,lemon - black salt tea to name a few ...besides those green leaf tea of munnar , all those unique blends of tea filled up my shopping kitty ........next we headed to idduki town to be a witness to the destruction it had encountered during the kerala flood of 2018.....next 2 days ,occupied us for local sightseeing across munnar town ......Had a wonderful time with my youngest sister , enjoyed a 4 star hospitality stay and did lots of shopping of spices and tea 's to complete my visit to this beautiful hills.
