Munnar travel guide & tour packages

Tea country at around 1,600 metres, and the coolest place in Kerala by a distance. The appeal is the landscape rather than any single sight — hillsides of clipped tea bushes, mist that arrives without warning, and roads that wind rather than climb directly. Two nights is right: one full day for the plantations, Eravikulam and a viewpoint, and enough time left not to spend the whole visit in a car. Note that Munnar is genuinely cold at night from December, which surprises people packing for Kerala.

Munnar FAQs

Do I need warm clothes for Munnar?

Yes, from about November to February. Nights drop into single figures, which catches out people who packed only for the coast.

Is two nights enough?

Yes for most people. A third night suits anyone who wants Top Station and Eravikulam on separate unhurried days.
