One Day Munnar Tour Package From Kochi

Munnar is a tranquil hill station in Kerala’s Idukki district, situated at about 1,600 m above sea level in the Western Ghats. It lies at the confluence of three mountain streams—Muthirapuzha, Nallathanni, and Kundala—offering panoramic views of mist-cloaked valleys and rolling hills.

Munnar’s name derives from the Malayalam words munnu and aaru, meaning “three rivers.” In the late 19th century, British planters—led by A. H. Sharp, who planted the first tea crop in 1880—transformed dense shola forests into sprawling tea estates. Today, colonial-era bungalows and the Tata Tea Museum stand testament to this plantation heritage.

The town enjoys a temperate climate year-round, with daytime temperatures ranging from 10 °C–20 °C between November and February, and 15 °C–25 °C from March to May. Monsoon rains between June and September drape the landscape in lush greenery, while clear winter mornings reveal sweeping vistas across the Ghats.

Key attractions include:

  • Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri tahr and the once-in-12-years Neelakurinji bloom

  • Tata Tea Museum, showcasing vintage tea-processing machinery and plantation history

  • Mattupetty Dam and Lake, offering speedboat and coracle rides

  • Echo Point and Photo Point for classic tea-carpet views and natural echo phenomena

  • Top Station and Anamudi Peak (South India’s highest summit at 2,695 m) for sunrise and panoramic vistas

  • Historical sites like Pallivasal (Kerala’s first hydroelectric project) and Marayoor’s sandalwood groves

Nearby Anamudi Peak (South India’s highest) rewards with panoramic vistas on a short trek. For an off-beat extension, detour to Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary to spot giant squirrels and star tortoises in its dry deciduous forests.
