Munnar: Rolling Hills Carpeted with Verdant Tea Plantations

This green hill station is endowed with misty mountain ranges, waterfalls, wild-life sanctuaries. But what characterizes it above all are the layers and layers of rolling tea estates. Munnar boasts some of the country's highest tea gardens.

However, what makes Munnar surrealistically beautiful, has come at some cost. Most of the native flora and fauna of Munnar have disappeared due to severe habitat fragmentation resultant from the creation of the plantations.
