Hill Stations |
One of the most popular hill stations in India,
is situated at the confluence of three mountain streams - Mudrapuzha,
Nallathanni and Kundala. Located at 1600 Mts. above sea level, this hill station
was once the summer resort of the erstwhile British Government in South India.
Sprawling tea plantations, picture book towns, winding lanes, trekking and
holiday facilities make Munnar a unique experience. Munnar is essentially a tea
town. The tea plantations have now been taken over by the Tata Tea Company. The
visitor is greeted with miles and miles of unending tea plantations on entry
into Munnar hill station. Among the exotic flora found in the forests and
grasslands here is the Neelakurinji a flower which bathes the hills in blue
colour once every twelve years. The Neelakurinji, will bloom next in 2006 AD.
Munnar also has the highest peak in South India - Anamudi - which towers over
2695 M and is an ideal spot for campers who like to do some trekking.
This idyllic hill station with its velvet lawns, exotic flora and fauna
and the cool mountain air is a rare experience. The Sita Devi Lake with its
mineral waters and picturesque surroundings is a good picnic spot. The lake is
also ideal for trout fishing.
