The favored summer retreat of the colonial English in South India, Munnar is renowned for its Neelakurinji, the blue rarely flowering bush and of course Nilgiri Tahr the endangered mountain goat saved from the brink of extinction and native to this region. Miles of manicured tea gardens, winding lanes, bungalows an d churches with ivy covered stonewalls and colonial architecture reminiscent of a bygone era, rolling hills dotted with picture perfect quaint villages guarded by majestic mountain peaks that seemingly caress the passing clouds welcome to Munnar!
