Mesmerising Munnar: Through the Lenses of a Google Local Guide!

I was on a short business trip to this scenic hill station located in the southwestern Indian state of Kerala recently. In the two days I spent in the town during this period, I took my morning time out to walk across and capture awesomeness of the place - situated at around 5200 ft above the sea level.

This hill station was once the summer resort of the erstwhile British Government in South India.

You can’t but be touched by the greenery of its majestic sprawling tea plantations and winding lanes.

The Mattupetty dam, located about 13 km from Munnar Town at the height of 1700 m above the sea level is known for its storage masonry dam and the beautiful lake.

When you take a morning walk across Munnar, you are definitely going to be mesmerised by the sight of scenic sunrise - beaming sun-rays peeping through the tree leaves, spreading over the endless greenery of the tea trees.

Munnar was unexplored and wild till the second half of the 19th century, mostly inhabited by Muthuvan tribal community. Later it was developed as a plantation town by a British resident John Daniel Munro.

If you love strolling around in tranquil places, away from the hustles of busy city life, Munnar is the place to be. The short trip left me with a lot of Munnar to be explored and experienced. An excuse to be there again!

 

PS: If you have been to Munnar, would love to hear your experience and see any of your snaps!

@MariahK,

Enviable isn't it? 🙂

These are mostly early morning picks, so... Irrespective of that, Munnar in general is known for its tranquility and scenic beauty.
