What to do in Munnar

Frankly for us, Munnar town was a disappointment. However Eravikular was amazing and easy to get to from Munnar. If possible, I would love to stay at a bed and breakfast in Eravikular instead of the KTDC resort Tea County in Munnar.

Avoid Munnar market. Its much better to leave for Rajamalai or the Eravikulam national park as soon as possible.

Eravikulam national park. Misty mountains in Rajamalai best seen as hike in the eravikulam national park. It is a beautiful part of the world. Mountains, mist, tea gardens and endangered animals.
