Munnar is a hill town in Kerala's Idukki district, built around three converging rivers and surrounded by rolling tea plantations first laid out by British planters in the 19th century. It's the most-booked hill destination in our South India circuits, usually paired with the Alleppey backwaters or Thekkady's Periyar wildlife sanctuary. Naveen Tours and Travels runs dedicated multi-day packages covering Munnar, as well as standalone private AC taxi bookings for groups wanting to build their own itinerary.
