About Munnar Hill Station
Munnar Hill Station is one of the most enchanting destinations in Kerala, located at about 1,600 metres above sea level in the Western Ghats. Often called the “Kashmir of South India,” Munnar is renowned for its cool climate, mist-covered hills, and endless stretches of lush tea plantations.
The town was once a summer retreat for the British during the colonial era, and its legacy can still be seen in the old bungalows and estates. The region is carpeted with rolling tea gardens, cardamom estates, waterfalls, and dense forests, making it a paradise for nature lovers and honeymooners.
