Travelogue : Munnar

We had been to Munnar 4 years back. It is the most breathtakingly beautiful place. We stayed at Club Mahindra which according to me is one of the best located resorts at Munnar. The food there was simply fabulous.

Some of the places to visit are Pothamedu for tea/coffee plantations, Devikulam lake, Atukkal waterfalls, Eravikulam National Park, Top station, Echo Point etc.

Munnar is a place which should be visited around Sept to March and one must take warm clothes if going between Nov to Jan.

We went to Munnar by road from Madurai. One can reach Madurai either by train or flight from Chennai. From Madurai, one can take a cab. The ride is quite pleasant and can be completed in 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

On the way back from Munnar, go via Thekkady, where one needs to stay for a night or two to enjoy the sanctuary.

I do have some pics of Thekkady which I might post once I scan them.
