A standout amongst the most popular hill-resort towns in Kerala, Munnar is
situated on the Western Ghats, in the Idukki region.
It
is said that Munnar has gotten its name from the convergence of three rivers
streaming near the town- Mudra puzha, Nallathanni, and Kundala.
Tea
or Chai is the most most widely drunk beverage in the entire world. Munnar is known to be the spot for one of the
most seasoned tea plantations in Kerala.
Munnar
owes its inheritance to John Daniel Munro–a British inhabitant of Travancore Kingdom
during the 1870s. On this visit to Munnar, he fell on adoration with the spot.
He rented out the Kanan Devan Hills from Kerala Varma Raja, who possessed the
land.
In
1879, John Munro set up the Travancore Land Planting Agricultural Society. At
first, they began developing different crops but finally discovered that tea plantation best suited the area. In 1880, A.H. Sharp planted tea in around 50
sections of land and the rest is history.
There
are numerous tea estates in and around Munnar and the picturesque magnificence
of this spot pulls in scores of voyagers. Pallivasal Tea Estate, AnayirankalTea Estate, Lockhart Estate, Kolukumalai Tea Estate, etc are some of the major
estates here.
A
trip to Munnar will be incomplete without having a visit to these tea
plantations. Munnar is a spot known for its lovely tea estates and tea
cultivation. Nobody will return home without tasting or shopping the essence of
Munnar.
Never
miss visiting the Tea Museum at Munnar, while making a Munnar trip. It is
India's first historically speaking tea gallery, preferably put at KDHP's
(Kannan Devan Hill Plantation) Nallatanni Estate in Munnar. Here you can have a
journey through the tea valley of the Kashmir of South India.

ethnic design that blends beautifully with the scenic surrounding of Munnar.
The resort is nestled against the milieu of Western Ghats, offers a magnificent
view of Sahya Mountain Ranges and the meritorious view of the misty valleys. It
offers a memorable stay with unmatched hospitality. It is an ideal place for
honeymoon couples because of its excellent location.
