Munnar
I am
narrating today about Munnar hill station. Munnar is located at the Idukki
district of Kerala State in South India. Munnar is situated around 1600 m above sea level.
Munnar's mesmerising greenery, mountain scenery,
calmness and cool refreshing air attracts honeymooners
and tourists throughout the year. It is a weekend hideout location for
domestic tourists during summer season.
Foreign travellers likes watching the natural
beauty of Kerala while the journey from Thekkady to Munnar. Munnar is at the confluence of
three rivers. The word 'munnu' means "three" and 'aar' means
"river". Hence "Munnar" is a shortened version of 'Munnu
Aar'.
Sprawling tea plantations, picture-book towns, winding lanes
and holiday facilities make this a popular resort town. Among the exotic flora
found in the forests and grasslands here is the Neelakurinji (strobilanthus). This
flower which bathes the hills in blue once in every twelve years will bloom
next in 2018.
The 3 mountain streams joining together here are
Madurapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala. Munnar is a commercial centre
with one of the world's best tea estates. There are about 30 tea plantations in
and around Munnar. A visit to Munnar can witness the nurturing of tea in
plantation to the process of manufacturing and packing.
Munnar is famous for its tea plantations, many of
them started by the British. The "Kannan Devan" brand of Tea from the
Tata is cultivated and processed here.
The tea estates, hills, lakes and forests inside
Munnar area exposes it's beauty. The tea plants covered Munnar hills makes the
feeling of seeing a wide green carpet. I was visited this hill station and enjoyed
the beauty of the Munnar. I am invited you to visit munnar.
