Munnar
Munnar
is situated at the confluence of three mountain streams - Mudrapuzha,
Nallathanni and Kundala. 1600 m above sea level, this hill station was
once the summer resort of the erstwhile British
Government in South India. 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. This flower which bathes the hills in blue every twelve
years, will bloom next in 2006 AD. Munnar also has the highest peak in
South India, Anamudi, which towers over 2695 m. Anamudi is an ideal spot
for trekking.
