Munnar

Munnar is situated at the confluence of three mountains streams - Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala. 1600m from sea level , this hill station was the summer resort of the British Government in South India. Sprawling tea plantations, picture-book towns, winding lanes and holiday facilities make this a popular hill station.

Among the exotic flora found in the forests and the grasslands here is Neelakurunji. This flower which bathes the hills in blue once every twelve years , will bloom next in 2006 AD. Munnar also has the highest peak in South India, Anamudi , which towers over 2695m. Anamudi is an ideal spot for trekking.
