MUNNAR
Munnar
is situated at the confluence of three mountain streams
namely Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala.
This hill station, located at an altitude of 1600 m above
sea level, 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 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.
