Introduction
Nestled at an altitude of 6000 ft, Munnar used to be a popular summer destination among the British settlers in Kerala. Situated in the confluence of Mudrapuzha, Nallanthanni and Kundala rivers, Munnar is home to some of the highest tea plantations in the world. Shimmering lakes and moist misty hills are all you have to yourself at Munnar. The enigma of Munnar hills increase manifold when the Neelakurunji plant flowers all over its slopes only to come back 12 years later; the Neelakurunji flowers every 12 years. Favorite among hikers and paragliders for its slopes and and walks, Munnar is a fascinating haven of Nature's bounty. Replete with gurgling rivulets and sprawling tea plantations Munnar had gained popularity as hill station way back in the British colonial era and is now the most sought after hill station in Kerala. Tucked in amidst lush greenery and overlooking the tranquil waters of a brook, the Westwood hotel offers untold luxury and more value for money.
