Popularly known as Kashmir of the South, Munnar is well connected to all the cities in Kerala. Munnar is located amidst mist-covered mountain ranges and evergreen forests of the Western Ghats, at a varying altitude of 1,600 m (5,249 ft) to 1,800 m (5,906 ft) above mean sea level, at the foot hills of Anamudi, the highest peak of the Western Ghats (2,695 m). History of Munnar The name Munnar was aptly given to this place since it is located at the convergence of three rivers, which are Mudrapuzha, Nallathani and Kundala. The vast tea estates and coffee plantations are the primary base for the flourishing economy of Munnar, besides tourism. The recorded history of Munnar can be dated back to the 10th century, though many prehistoric relics linking Munnar to the Stone Age has been discovered. During the 17th century, a group of people of Tamil origin, known by the name ‘Muthuvans’ migrated to Munnar and they settled at Munnar and nearby areas. By the 19th century, Munnar had become a part of Anchunadu, a small tribal kingdom believed to be one among the earliest tribal settlements of South India. The fertile soil of Munnar was used for the cultivation of cardamom, ginger, etc. in those days. It was the Spanish planters who brought Munnar to the limelight and the first notable personality to visit this place was the Duke of Wellington. John Daniel Munro from the British East India Company visited Munnar around the middle of the 19th century and he gathered permission to acquire 588 sq. km. of land from the Maharaja of Poonjar. With the assistance from Kannan Thevar, the tribal chief of Anchunadu, Mr. Manro and his companions took over some of the mountains and hills of Munnar. In 1895 Messrs Finlay Muir & Company procured Munro’s land and in 1976 Tata-Finlay Ltd. procured it. Things to do in Munnar Munnar is an idyllic tourist destination with rolling hills, grasslands, dense forests, brooks and rivulets, diverse flora and fauna, numerous waterfalls, lakes, tea plantations and walking trails.

As I belongs form Mountain region from North India (Nainital) so the place seems to be similar to other Hill stations. But the difference is that Munnar provided and excellent view of tea Valley all around the way of Munnar. The places is full with greenery waterfall & Dams which attracts the tourist from all over the world. As its been my first experience to travel to South India portion and I was excited to visit all the places starting from Munnar and this places make our journey more interesting. We spend 02 days in Munnar and I suggest to take rest while long drive from Cochin to Munnar and start your sightseeing on day 02. The weather was very pleasant as it was month of Mid December and local people were excited to welcome the Christmas festival as all the market & Hotel were decorated with lights. The sightseeing in Munnar take at least full day as starting from tea Museum, Mattupetty Dam, Tea Plantations, Eravikulam National Park, Boating and Dreamland are just for the fun and it includes fun activities and the tourist can enjoy some fun time there. Also you can find good local restaurants (South Indian, Rajasthani, Punjabi, Gujarati etc ) and some local home made chocolates shops. So overall the visit of Munnar is interesting and Nature lover will definitely enjoy the visit over there." - Saurabh Bhandari, Gurgaon, 4 weeks ago Lonely plant-Munnar "The rolling hills around Munnar, South India's largest tea-growing region, are carpeted in emerald-green tea plantations, contoured, clipped and sculpted like ornamental hedges. The low mountain scenery is magnificent you're often up above the clouds watching veils of mist clinging to the mountaintops. Munnar town itself is a scruffy administration centre, not unlike a North Indian hill station, but wander just a few kilometres out of town and you'll be engulfed in a sea of a thousand shades of green. Once known as the High Range of Travancore, today Munnar is the commercial centre of some of the world's highest tea-growing estates. The majority of the plantations are operated by corporate giant Tata, with some in the hands of local co-operative Kannan Devan Hills Plantation Company (KDHP)." - Vinay Surendra, , 2 months ago Great scenery & excellent climate "I have taken a couple of one day trips to Munnar. So can't tell about the hotel facilities. I found the climate excellent, not too cold but really pleasant. But it depends on the time of year, it heard it gets freezing cold during winter. I travelled in my own vehicle but I know the rates. Cabs usually charge you around Rs1200 for a whole day trip. Auto rickshaws are much cheaper, Rs 500 for a half day tour ( bargain price)Mattupatty Dam, Kundala Lake, Echo point are all great places. The lake at mattupetty dam is a really nice place. Boating services are also offered. Echo point is a point on the same lake where one can hear his own voice being echoed around Page 4/16 the hills. Overall I would have to say that it's a quite nice place to spend for a day or two." Firoz Mohammed, Kochi, 2 months ago Nice tourist destination- Munnar "I have visited Munnar last week along with my family and we enjoyed the hospitality of Kerala tourism department. It is just 120 Kilometres away from Cochin International airport and the road conditions are smooth and safe. Journey through forest was my first time experience and was a thrilling experience for my children's. Munnar is famous for its natural beauty of tea plantations and mountains. It have a very good climate that everyone can enjoy." - Brijesh Scariya, , 3 months ago Amazing as well as a best of destination, Munnar "We were gone Munnar in November, 2014.
