Tea estates and highland scenery

Hills · Tea · Nature
Kerala, India
Tea-covered hills, cool mountain air and some of Kerala's most memorable scenery.
Discover the destination
Munnar is one of Kerala's strongest first-time destinations because the landscape feels completely different from the coast and backwaters.
Tea estates cover the hills, viewpoints open across deep valleys, and the cooler climate gives travellers a welcome change of pace. Two nights gives enough time to enjoy the scenery without turning the stay into a rushed drive between photo stops.
