Tentative Itinerary

Day 1 : Munnar : Transfer from Airport to Munnar

Destination : Munnar. Description : Munnar means many thing to many people. Its about tea for some, its about the Nilgiri Thar for some. Its just wild nature and a hill station for some others. Many talk about Munnar being the epitome of social innovation considering the way Tatas transferred ownership of their tea estate to thousands of their employees. Its a place known for its bio-diversity and for some of us its a place where unsustainable tourism might pay a price soon if responsible tourism isn’t practiced without any more delay. Either way, its one of the most visually stunning location one can find in any part of India.
