Munnar Hill Station

If you seek a sense of peace you'll find it here in Munnar. The nature- lover's paradise. Opened up out of virgin forests a century ago by pioneer planters.

This is where you fill your holidays with quiet moments at 1600m above sea level. Relaxing within the cool stillness of thirty odd eststes fanning outd across the expanse of the hills.

Within its remote and elderly churches- gracious, stone sturctukires with ancient chandeliers and rosewood pews. Withiln its fresh tea. Lanes filled witjh the heady fragrance of fresh tea.

Within the picturesque ethereal setting of the Mattupetty Dam as you come downhill. Kor even within the rich tropical forests beyond.

With a sizable population of elephants, lbisons, langurs and macaques roaming free in herds.

Further, Munnar offers the bes opportunity you are ever likely to have to see the tea plantations, to watch tea being picked, to learn how tea is processed, to smell the sweet scent fo tea waftilng through the air and to buy the tea directly from the gardens.
