Idyllically set at the confluence of three mountain streams, Munnar is a beautiful hill station in the Western Ghats mountain range in India’s Kerala state. The village once served as a popular vacation resort for the British Raj elite, who flocked here to enjoy the pleasant cool climate and scenic natural surroundings characterised by rolling hills dotted with colonial bungalows, streams, waterfalls and 19th-century tea plantations. The main attraction in the area is the extraordinary Eravikulam National Park, which is famous for its diverse array of wildlife, including the endangered mountain goat known as the Nilgiri tahr. The park also offers excellent hiking trails and spectacular views of the impressive 2,695-metre-high Anamudi Peak, while the nearby Lakkam Waterfalls provide another beautiful highlight of the region.
