Munnar
is situated at the confluence of three mountain streams - Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni
and Kundala. 1600 m above sea level, this hill station 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 here
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.
