Beautiful tour of Munnar hills. Tea gardens, waterfalls, and national park - all covered well. Only wish we had more time at Top Station. The drive up was scenic but tiring.
This was my first trip to India and Munnar was the perfect introduction. The landscapes are breathtaking, the people are warm, and the tea is incredible. Our resort had stunning valley views.
Munnar exceeded all expectations! Waking up to misty tea gardens every morning was surreal. The tea museum was educational, and Eravikulam with the Nilgiri Tahr was a highlight. Worth every rupee!
