Munnar
Munnar is nature lover’s paradise
and was the summer resort of British Government in South India. 1600m above sea
level, sprawling tea plantations, picture-book towns, winding lanes and holiday
facilities make this a popular hill station. Among the exotic flora found in the
forests and grasslands here is Neelakurinji. This flower, which bathes the hills
in blue once every twelve years, will bloom next in 2006 AD. Munnar also has the
highest peak in South India - Anamudi, which towers over 2695 m., an ideal spot
for trekking.
