Munnar – Set in the lap of God’s own country, Munnar remains till-date one of the least spoiled destinations in the world. Sanctuaries, reservoirs and more than 12,000 hectares of tea fields have helped retain Munnar as a hill resort. The hill station is situated in the Idukki district of Kerala and derives its name from the confluence of three mountain rivers- Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala. It was in the late 1800s that the first tea plantations were set up in Munnar, an untouched mountain land. Low-riding clouds, cascading waterfalls, unending expanse of green and a pleasant respite from southern India’s humidity create a picturesque surrounding.

After breakfast, proceed for a sightseeing tour of Munnar visiting Mattuppetty Dam, Echo Point, Gundala Lake, Rajamalai (Ernakulam) National Park – famous for the Nilgiri Tahr (Wild Goat) etc. Later visit the world famous Tea Factory & The Museum of Munnar. Also visit the Tea Plantation on the way to the factory and observe how tea is cultivated. The thousands of tourists who visit Munnar carry home impressions of the distant past of this tea planting district in Idukki’s high ranges. The aim of the Tea Museum, is to depict the growth of these more-than-a-century-old tea plantations, from the rudimentary tea roller to the present fully automated tea factory of Madupatty. It also imparts first-hand knowledge to tourists about tea processing and the operations that go into the making of black tea.
