(Virgin
Munnar)
Munnar is situated at the confluence of three mountain
streams namely Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala.

This
hill station, located at an altitude of 1600 m above sea level, was once
the summer resort of the erstwhile British government in South India.
Sprawling tea plantations, picture book towns, winding lanes and holiday
facilities make this a popular resort town. Among the exotic flora found
in the forests and grasslands is the 'Neelakurinji'.
This
flower which bathes the hills in blue every twelve years will bloom next
in 2006 AD. Munnar also has the highest peak in south India, Anamudi,
which towers over 2695 m. Anamudi is an ideal spot for trekking.
