The mountains of the Western Ghats are about 100 kms from the coast and backwaters and they offer a wonderful variety of scenery and adventure too. The drive up will take you through the banana and rubber plantations, passing many silvery waterfalls, then the coffee and spice plantations and then the velvet green tea-estates.
Munnar, a real gem, is approximately 4 hours from Cochin and 3 ½ hours from Thekkady. All around there are the beautiful tea-estates and the soaring peaks with thick forests. Here you can visit the Rajamalai wildlife sanctuary, home to the endangered but so tame mountain goats, and home also to some stunning scenery. Then visit the lakes and enjoy boating and a picnic lunch with nature ! Two wonderful jeep safaris also – one to the highest tea-estates in the world, again with superb scenery and another through the largest shola forest in the world, both hard drives but with great rewards! More stunning scenery on the Lexmi estate visit and a great surprise with DARE…only revealed once there !
In Munnar we offer lots of adventure with trekking and camping also. Here you really just cool out ! For nature lovers it truly must be Munnar !
