Things To Do and See in Munnar, India, Munnar, India

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about travel advice, it’s that you should listen to everything but still form your own decisions. For instance, one backpacker told me Munnar, India was just another city. Another told me they went on a day trip, and there’s really no reason to stay longer than that because there’s nothing to do. My boyfriend and I had already booked a hotel for a week, but I was confident that there was a ton to do and see in Munnar. I was in no rush to see it all in one action packed day. I wanted to take my time to see everything and take it all in, and boy am I glad I did. Munnar, India was unlike any city I’d ever been to and there was never a lack of things to do.

Although it’s not for everyone, my travel style is to go to places at least two to three more days than recommended. I love to check everything off of the to do list and still have a few days to discover the smaller things that most people skip. Sometimes, there’s a reason they get skipped, but other times, they are the things that make my trip most memorable. So if you find yourself in Munnar, India and think there’s a lack of things to do, check out this list.

We stopped here on our way to the Munnar Top Station Highway which has tons of places to stop and look around. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
