Munnar: the high-range tea town in the Western Ghats, about 1,600 metres above sea level. What draws visitors is tea estates, misty hills and the rare Neelakurinji bloom.

Best months: September to March; July–August has heavy rain. The Chinnar–Marayur route from Udumalpet is short but needs a forest-check; we plan it in daylight.
The roads in from Kochi, Theni and Pollachi are narrow ghat roads; our drivers take them steadily and avoid driving after dark.
We drop at any address in Munnar; frequent drop points are Munnar town, Mattupetty Road, Pothamedu, Devikulam and Anachal, and the station or stand at Munnar KSRTC bus stand and Munnar town centre.
Pickup in Kochi
Pickup anywhere in Kochi is included in the fare. People often start from Ernakulam, Edappally, Kakkanad, Aluva, Vyttila and Fort Kochi. We also serve Ernakulam Junction railway station, Ernakulam Town station and Vyttila Mobility Hub.
