With an altitude of around 1600m, Munnar is the centre of Kerala’s principal tea growing region which was developed in the late 19th century by Scottish planters. Munnar Town’s Tea Museum and the old fashioned High Range Club are mementos of this colonial past, as are the old British bungalows which dot the surrounding mountains
Munnar’s fabulous scenery holds many opportunities for trekking: from short wanders round nearby tea, cardamom and coffee plantations, to treks as challenging as the ascent of Ana Mudi (2695m), India’s highest peak south of the Himalayas. Moreover, the 34km climb through lofty tea estates to the hamlet of Top Station has some of the best views in the area and the site is also the habitat for the extremely rare Neelakurunji plant which flowers only every 12 years! .
This cute cottage is also a home to a very interesting and accommodating flora and fauna. The insects and birds still dwell around. In fact, they are contributing alot to make this place homely and welcoming. There are rare wild birds with colourful plumage that sing sonorously. A great way to enjoy the landscape is to take a walk through the famed tea gardens of Munnar or along the evergreen tall trees under the shade of which the cardamom is cultivated.
