Munnar - the most beautiful hill station in Kerala

Munnar is a small town located in the southern state of Kerala in India. It is surrounded by wild jungles and is wet and cold for most of the year. Though part of Kerala state, Tamil workers brought from Tamilnadu and their successors are now majority in Munnar.

During the British rule of India, Munnar was developed to cultivate tea plants. Most of the top positions in the estates were occupied by the British "Managers". A few bungalows were built for them and these are still in use. It is also believed that Munnar was a favourite place for the British who sought a cooler climate.


Munnar is sometimes referred to as the "Switzerland of India" for its natural surroundings and Old World architecture.
