Best Things to Do in Munnar

Welcome to Kerala’s Tea Garden Hill Station

Munnar feels fresh and green in every direction. Rolling tea plantations cover the hills like carpets, clouds drift across winding roads, and small streams appear after every curve. The weather stays pleasant most of the year, and mornings often begin with mist over the valleys. Munnar is perfect for honeymooners, families, nature lovers, and anyone who enjoys calm mountain scenery instead of crowded tourist towns.

Must-Visit Attractions in Munnar

Eravikulam National Park

Home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, this national park is known for its high-altitude grasslands and wide valley views. During the blooming season, the hills turn blue with Neelakurinji flowers, which is a rare sight.

Tea Gardens and Tea Museum

Munnar is famous for its tea estates. Walking or driving through endless tea gardens is one of the best parts of the trip. The Tea Museum shows how tea is made and tells the story of plantation life in the region.

Mattupetty Dam

Surrounded by hills and forests, Mattupetty Dam is a scenic spot for boating and photography. The still water reflects the greenery around it, making it a peaceful place to relax.

Echo Point

True to its name, sounds bounce back here from the surrounding hills. Echo Point is also a beautiful lakeside area, ideal for short walks and enjoying the cool breeze.

Top Station

This viewpoint sits at the highest point in the region open to visitors and offers stunning views of the Western Ghats. On clear days, clouds float below you, giving the feeling of standing above the sky.
