Munnar sits over 1,600 metres above sea level in the Western Ghats, and the drive up alone is worth the trip — hairpin bends framed by endless rows of tea bushes clipped into soft green waves.
Start your mornings early: the tea estates look their best before 9am, when mist still clings to the valleys. A visit to a working tea factory is essential — you'll see how the leaf you plucked an hour ago becomes the cup you'll drink at breakfast.
Set aside a full day for Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr, and leave your evenings free for a quiet walk through the estate roads as the light turns gold.
