Munnar is situated at the confluence of three
mountain streams - Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala. 1600 m above sea level,
this hill station 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 here 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.
