Munnar Tourist Places
South India and Munnar have a romantic connection. So why do people visiting South India miss out on Munnar?
Reasons why you must visit Munnar:
- The tea plantation and Coffee plantation are so extensive. Any season you go, it’s green throughout the year. And Greenery is what is South India hill stations are famous for.
- The panoramic view of the hills around is a delight to watch. It’s tough to keep a DSLR camera or GoPro inside your bag!
- Anaimudi Peak!!! Oh yeah, the peak is nestled within Munnar, and you can view the rocky peak amid Greenery from various places in Munnar.
- All season destination-you’ll love this place any day around.
- It’s a honeymooner’s paradise.
- It’s a place which brings different flavours if you travel solo or in a group or family or as a couple!
- Eravikulam National Park, which houses Anaimudi Peak, is one of the destinations worth going to to have a beautiful misty view of the hills around!
- Last but not least, It’s a place which takes just a night journey from Chennai and Bangalore. From Cochin/Eranakulam, it hardly takes 3 hours or so.
Location: Munnar is somewhere located in the heart of Kerala. It is around 130 km from cochin and some 450 km from Bangalore. Theni is also an option to enter from Madurai / Tamil Nadu Side.

How to Reach Munnar:
Road Routes:
The possible routes are:
From Bangalore: Banaglore-Hosur-Krishnagiri-Dharmapuri-salem-Namakkal-Dharapuram-Gundimangalm-Udumalpet-Marayoor-Munnar
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM MY EXPERIENCE:
1)Please avoid monsoon season as Kerala witnesses maximum rainfall and havoc during monsoons
2) Buses can cover most places cheaply, especially for solo travellers if you can manage time. For family, cars and autos are available but please take help from locals before taking a ride.
AIR: Cochin is the nearest airport, after which you need to opt for a rail or road network.
ROAD: If you have your bike or car, 9-10 hrs are needed for one day.But what if you want to opt for public transport! In that case, go for KSRTC Bus Services.
You’ll get buses every 1-2 hours from Aluva/Ernakulam starting at 4 or 5 am. A bus even starts at 1 am from the Ernakulam Bus stand. Most of them are ordinary and unreserved. For reservation, you need to find Trivandrum-bound buses that may suffice.

Time to Visit:
Antime around the year except monsoons(June-Sept)
Spend Time With:
Family,Friends,Solo,Couple,Honeymoon lovers
Food and Lodging:
For hotels, you never need to worry. There’s plenty, but beware that the rates are at their peak from March to May. I usually do booking on the spot, whatever happens. Booking from apps like Goibibo.com,Yatra.com,Makemytrip.com might help in peak seasons; otherwise, go, bargain, and the book is my advice.
Even Private autos are available along with city buses. City buses tend to be far cheaper. Autos tend to loot you, so ask/verify locals or shopkeepers before enquiring about the auto wallas. Food is available aplenty. Street food is cheap, but restaurants tend to be a bit costly—lots of Tea stalls and chocolate shops. Don’t forget to buy plenty of chocolates from here. 🙂
Expense:
I made three trips to cover various places so I ll give a rough estimate about an expense in general
Food: INR 250/person/day(3 times a day)X2
Transport: INR 1500 for booking an auto for local sightseeing. You can get by bus everywhere. Even if you can, you should take one day extra or at least a few hours of 3rd day extra to cover all the places. Cochin To and fro: INR 300(approx). Bangalore -Cochin: INR 450×2(Two ways)
Lodging: INR 700/day(tends to be 1200INR in peak season)X2
Entry Fees include various places (varies): INR 250/head
Total: 4850 INR
