Munnar, Kerala, India
Munnar is a high-altitude hill station in Kerala's Idukki district, set at 1,600 m in the Western Ghats. Its rolling tea estates, cool mist, and spectacular Eravikulam National Park make it Kerala's most visited inland destination — a complete contrast to the state's backwaters and beaches.

Travel tips for Munnar
Book Eravikulam National Park entry tickets online — visitor numbers are capped and it sells out during peak season.
Start Top Station trips before 8 AM to beat clouds — afternoon cloud cover is almost guaranteed.
Kolukkumalai Tea Estate (world's highest) requires a jeep on unpaved tracks — book via your hotel.
Carry a light jacket even in summer — temperatures drop sharply after sunset at this altitude.
Spices are cheapest at the town market — cardamom, pepper, and vanilla are Munnar specialties.
