Re: Munnar Holiday trip

Hi.. Let me share my munnar trip experience,might be helpful for you.

There are many places to visit in munnar and ofcource 3days trip is bit short. so plan your trip perfectly so you will not miss anything there.

Local people are very friendly and very helpful.The taxi drivers treat tourists like guest.They hardly cheat, still dont hegitate to haggle when finalizing the fare and deal with one taxi and finalize your all 3day trip with him.So the taxi can plan for you and let you explore one side of munnar in one day.

The great places to visit include tea gardens, the dam, grass lands, national park,ervikulam wildlife sanctuary(nilgiri),lion point, waterfall and many more..(ahh I cant recall all).Dont forget to request the driver to take you one of the tea factories and a near by sandalwood jungle.

To reach munnar from bangalore, we 1st travelled to coimbatore by train. From coimbatore (Ukadam bus stand) We travelled to Udamalpethu by bus and from there we got karala transport bus to reach munnar.All total its approx 4hrs bus journey.But the Kerala transport buses were dated and the road was very bumpy.So dont know how comfortable will this be for your family(though the shortest way to reach Munnar).Well it was the story in 2007, dont have exact idea about current bus services.Leave munnar by 12noon to reach coimbatore back by evening.The bus service is notoriously irregular.

You can get a better and cheaper hotel deal if can spend some time on net in searching about it.I stayed in a hotel called "Forest heven resorts".It was a good resort, but better place for couples.

Wish you will have a great trip.. :D
Cheers!!!!
