Munnar Tour Packages

Kerala's tea country, 1,600 metres above the coast

Part of Hills & Wildlife

Munnar sits where three mountain streams meet, at just over 1,600 metres in Kerala's Western Ghats. What draws most travellers here is the tea: over 30,000 hectares of manicured estates, planted from the 1870s onward, rolling across every visible hillside in shades of green that shift with the light. It's cool enough for a jacket in the evenings, a genuine change of pace after Kerala's coast.

We build our Munnar itineraries around a guided walk through a working tea estate with a planter, a stop at the Tea Museum to see how the leaf is actually processed, and an afternoon at a viewpoint like Top Station or Mattupetty, where the Ghats stretch out in every direction. Most travellers spend two nights here as part of a longer Kerala route, though it holds its own as a three or four night hill escape too.

Frequently asked questions

How many days should I spend in Munnar?

Two nights is enough to cover the tea estates, a viewpoint, and one activity like a trek or a boat ride at Mattupetty Dam without feeling rushed. If wildlife or a deeper trek into the Ghats interests you, three nights gives more room.

What is the best time to visit Munnar?

September through May is comfortable, with December to February giving the clearest views and coolest evenings. The monsoon (June to August) turns the hills a deeper green and thins out the crowds, but expect regular rain and some road closures.

Can Munnar be combined with Alleppey and Kochi in one trip?

Yes, this is our most-booked route: Kochi for a day, Munnar for two nights, then down to Alleppey or Kumarakom for a houseboat night before flying out of Kochi. It's a comfortable 6 to 7 day loop.
