Munnar
Munnar
is situated at the confluence of three mountain streams namely Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni
and Kundala.
This hill station, located at an altitude of 1600 m above sea level, was once
the summer resort of the erstwhile British government in South India. Sprawling
tea plantations, picture book towns, winding lanes and holiday facilities make
this a popular resort town. Among the exotic flora found in the forests and
grasslands is the 'Neelakurinji'.
This flower which bathes the hills in blue every twelve years will bloom next
in 2006 AD. Munnar also has the highest peak in south India, Anamudi, which
towers over 2695 m. Anamudi is an ideal spot for trekking.
