Munnar's famous viewpoints can be busy, especially on weekends. A little further out, the Western Ghats get noticeably quieter.
Kolukkumalai
Often described as one of the highest tea estates in the world, Kolukkumalai is reached by jeep on a rough track. Go before dawn for sunrise over a sea of clouds.
Vattavada
A farming village on the far side of Munnar known for terraced vegetable fields, strawberries and a slower pace. Stay in a simple homestay for the full effect.
Marayoor
In the rain shadow of the hills, Marayoor is known for its sandalwood forests, jaggery-making units and ancient dolmens.
