Kerala – Way to Munnar!



On 4th day morning after breakfast we boarded a luxury bus which was hired by the tour operator and was with us until we reached at KanyaKumari. Our destination on the fourth day was Munnar a tiny beautiful hill station in Kerala. Journey was bit tiring because we were moving up and feeling queasiness yet it was worth because the beauty of the place that kept me awake and tried to capture each frame with my camera.

Munnar

Munnar town is situated on the Kannan Devan Hills village in Devikulam taluk and is the largest panchayat in the Idukki district in Kerala The region in and around Munnar varies in height from 1,450 meters to 2,695 meters above mean sea level.  The temperature ranges between 5 °C and 25 °C in winter and 15 °C and 25 °C in summer.

Flora and fauna

Most of the native flora and fauna of Munnar have disappeared due to severe habitat fragmentation resultant from the creation of the plantations. However, some species continue to survive and thrive in several protected areas nearby, including the new Kurinjimala Sanctuary to the east, the Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary, Manjampatti Valley and the Amaravati reserve forest of Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary to the north east, the Eravikulam National Park.
