Visiting Munnar

by Jayarep

Hi! Everybody.
My wife and I are visiting Munnar in June of this year and will be staying at the Mahindra Resort.We shall be flying into Cochin from Delhi,and then have to take a transport to the Resort.What are my options.Either take a taxi or a Public Transport.Which is more practical.In the event of taking a taxi from the airport how long would be travel time.Can anybody give me an idea what would be the approximate cost.What would the weather be like.Would the monsoons have begun,and how heavy are the rains.
Looking forward to hear from you all,Kerala enthusiasts.We are going out to Kerala for the very first time.
Thanks and Cheers.

Exploring Kerala, specially Munnar will be quite facinating and wonderfull experience in the monsoon when nature is in full bloom. From last two years monsoon had been late to pickup, mostly by mid of June so i think you can make up a good trip this time if it is late also. Mist filled environment is quite romantic during May/June.

Public transport bus is available but from nearby bus station (Aluva). For this hassle you will be able to make within Rs 300 per person.
But in case you take private vehicle, the cost of trip will come to around Rs2500/3000.
I would suggest to checkout with the resort if they can make some budget shared transportation available.

Hope this helps you out.

KSRTC - kerala state buses are the cheap services compared to taxi. Taxi drivers will ask more than bus. If you know some taxi drivers they won't.

the waterfall adds to the mysticism of the place especially on a cloudy monsoon afternoon.

Munnar- India's answer to Sweden

"Far from the tourists"

Munnar is breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful making for an idyllic tourist destination in God's own country-Kerala.
Set at an altitude of 6000 ft in Idukki district, Munnar was the favored summer resort of the erstwhile British rulers in the colonial days. Unending expanse of tea plantations - pristine valleys and mountains- exotic species of flora and fauna in its wild sanctuaries and forests -sighting elephants is a given! My first visit to this hill station was in 2001, I was so besotted by its quaint untouched charm that I have returned 5 times since! Tucked away in the Niligiri ranges of Kerala Munnar offers the nature lover everything he seeks- lush green mountains, never ending tea gardens, dams, waterfronts, wild goats, elephants, wild life safaris and shikara boating :)

Altitude : 1600 Mts to 1800 Mts above sea level
Temperature : Min. 0 c - Max. 25 c
Clothing : Warm Clothes and Rain Gear
Tourist Season : August to March

"Tea gardens"

With around 50000 hectares of tea gardens leased out to the Tatas and other popular tea brands, Munnar is truly a sea of tea gardens. From a distance the unending hills look like they are covered by green carpets and not a shade of green missing in that!

"Lakes and boating"

There are lakes and dams which make for an awesome outing in Munnar. In the cool climes of this place to take a speed boat ride or go for a peaceful shikara boat rise is an awesome experience. The scenery all around is simple breathtaking
