Best Munnar Itinerary for 4 Days : A Comprehensive Guide

Planning a trip to Munnar and feeling overwhelmed with the myriad of options? Let me share with you a detailed Munnar itinerary for the perfect trip. As usual, I’ll give you a plethora of ideas to modify your trip plan based on your needs.

Located in Kerala, Munnar is one of the British-era hill stations famous for tea gardens and breathtaking views. Having travelled extensively in the Western Ghats of India, the mesmerizing beauty of Munnar still stands unmatched in my travel memories.

My first trip to Munnar was a comedy of errors during heavy rain. I fell in love with the place despite the weather playing a spoilsport.

My second trip to this Queen of hills was in November 2018, just a few months after the devastating floods that rocked the region. And yet, even amidst the remnants of Mother Nature’s fury, Munnar remained the epitome of beauty in my eyes.

I visited it again last year and have also helped people plan their Munnar vacation. So, if you’re looking for authentic insights and a stress-free travel plan, you’ve come to the right place.

Let me be your virtual tour guide as we embark on a journey to explore Munnar, the most beautiful hill station in south India . You will know about the best places to visit in Munnar as well as the tourist traps that you can avoid.

A Quick Outline

The Best Munnar Trip Plan (For 3-4 Days) at a Glance

I visited Munnar on extended weekends from Bangalore and tried to make the best out of the three days. However, if you are planning a road trip to Munnar, this 4-day 3-nights Munnar itinerary will be perfect. I have also shared ideas to modify the plan for shorter duration of stay.

It will give you time to rest, take care of the kids, and explore the local cuisine and the markets. This is the best Munnar itinerary for a family trip.

🌟If you have only one day at Munnar then I highly recommend this Munnar tour package for a day trip to Munnar from Kochi . You will love it and will be motivated to come back for a longer trip I promise.

Day 1 of Munnar itinerary:

Drive to Chinnakanal via Munnar, with a lunch-stop at Munnar town. Stop at a couple of viewpoints on the way.

Day 2 – Explore Chinnakanal:

• Excursion to Kolukkumalai Tea Garden in the morning
• After lunch visit the Elephant Abode Boating Center and then drive to Munnar
• Check-in to hotel in Munnar

Day 3 in Munnar:

• Visit Eravikulam National Park in the morning.
• Trek to Lakkham Falls (optional)
• Then after lunch drive to Mattupetty Dam, Kundala Lake, and Echo Point

If you are planning to return on the same day, you should skip the Lakkham Falls trek. Then leave Munnar by 2 p.m. after visiting the lakes.

Day 4 – Departure:

Check out of the hotel and drive to Marayoor Sandalwood Forest.

Then visit Attukal Falls, CSI Christ Church, and Rose Garden in that order before you depart.

Why did I suggest staying so far away from Munnar town? And why do you need to shift hotels the next day? Do you really need to? How can I plan my Munnar sightseeing for each day?

You will find the answers to all these questions below. But let’s start with reaching Munnar.

How to reach Munnar

We have usually taken a long drive to Munnar from Bangalore. However, there are several ways you can reach Munnar.

By Air: The nearest major airport to Munnar is the Cochin International Airport (COK), which is approximately 110-120 kilometers away. From the airport, you can hire a taxi or take a bus to Munnar .

By Train: The nearest railway station to Munnar is Aluva Railway Station, which is about 110 kilometers away, followed by Ernakulam Junction Railway Station in Kochi which is 122 kilometers away.

From either of these stations, you can hire a taxi or take a bus to Munnar. It will take around 3-4 hours depending on Kochi’s traffic.

By Bus: If you are based out of Bangalore, you can take an o vernight bus to Munnar bus station . There are several private and state-run buses connecting Munnar to prime cities in the southern India.

A road trip to Munnar is absolutely amazing. Be it on motorbikes or by car. If you are traveling from Bangalore, the plan below includes a map that you can use for planning your road trip. It is one of the finest routes to go for long drives around Bangalore .

Book a reasonably-priced, car transfer from Kochi to Munnar to avoid the last-minute rush.

However, reaching Munnar by overnight bus will help you optimize your trip in the best possible way. Board an overnight sleeper bus and wake up to the lush green scenery in the early morning. Reach Munnar before noon and have half a day to explore around.

Munnar Trip Plan in Detail – Day 1

Road Trip to Chinnakanal via Munnar

Living in Bangalore, I’ve generally traveled to Munnar by car. A road trip to Munnar promises a memorable journey that’s both thrilling and scenic. A long drive through the winding roads of the Western Ghats , the lush greenery and mist-covered mountain ranges are worth waking up at 4 a.m. for

Because if you are driving 400 km from Bangalore, you need to hit the road early and leave the city before the crazy traffic kicks in. You can read in detail about our monsoon road trip here .

However, if you are planning this vacation from anywhere else, then Kochi is the most likely starting point for you. It is well-connected to all major locations in India by rail and flights.

Assuming you start from Kochi the drive to Munnar is relatively shorter, taking about 3 to 4 hours. Let’s hope the dreaded Kochi traffic shows some mercy.

Lunch in Munnar

By the time you hit Munnar, hunger pangs may kick in. If you want vegetarian food, head to Saravana Bhavan. Otherwise, Rapsy restaurant is a nice multi-cuisine restaurant serving both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

Stop at Chinnakanal Falls

Rightly known as the “Power House Waterfall” , the Chinnakanal Waterfall is your first treat in the region. Displaying nature’s raw power and beauty, its waters plunge with fervor. Though it’s a perennial fall, monsoons certainly add to its charm.

Best part? There is no entry fee, and you don’t even need to hike to see this. It’s right on the roadside on your way to Chinnakanal.

Stop at Lockhart Gap or the Gap Road viewpoint

Another stop on your way to the hotel can be the Lockhart Gap, also called the Gap-road viewpoint. This is the most famous viewpoint on the road to Chinnakanal, near the Lockhart tea factory. It’s named after the heart-shaped gap formed by two mountains here.

🌟But here’s a nugget from my experience. If you find the place crowded by too many cars parked at the famous site mentioned in almost all travel guides, just drive ahead. Munnar’s got many such nameless viewpoints at every turn on the road for you to see on your 3-day trip. They are equally beautiful, so don’t just fall into this tourist trap .

Best Places to Stay around Chinnakanal

Finally, it’s time to check in to your hotel and rest. You can choose from Chinnakanal’s vast range of accommodations.

Whether it’s a luxurious resort or a quaint homestay, you’re sure to find a perfect match for a quick rest and refresh. These are my top picks in this area.

🥇 Sterling Munnar

☑️Best Location ☑️Family-friendly ☑️Sustainable

It’s my top pick mainly because of its location. It’s located opposite the Tata tea estate. Besides it has a beautiful garden, children’s park, daily activities planned for families in the morning, magic shows, and Karaoke nights in the evening.

You can get in with a camera in your hand and explore the garden and the views freely. The watchtower within the resort’s premises also gives a spectacular view. You can see the Ayyankere Dam from here.

*Unfortunately, the price of this hotel has hiked since our last stay(possibly due to the location factor). At roughly Rs.7000 might not be the ideal mid-budget hotel for many.

🥈 Elephant Passage Resort

☑️5-star luxury ☑️Jacuzzi ☑️Infinity Pool

Just slightly higher than the current rates of Sterling Munnar, you can book a stay in this 5-star luxury resort. With breathtaking views, a jacuzzi room and an infinity pool, it is one of the best resorts in Munnar.

However, it is located in Anachal closer to Pothmedu , and further away from Kolukkumalai which we plan to visit next.

Check out other options and get best prices below.

🥉 The Sienna Village

☑️Great Location ☑️Affordable Luxury

Much cheaper than the other two and is located close to Sterling Munnar. This location is perfect as it is close to the highlights of day 2.

Fort Munnar is also a good option in this area. The tariff is similar to Sterling, but its restaurant is much cheaper.

Day 2 – In and around Chinnakanal

While most guides would point you to a tea factory in Lockhart or Kanan Devan Hills, I’ve got something different in mind: Suryanelli Tea Estate in Kolukkumalai . Not only is it among the highest tea estates in the world , but it’s also home to one of the oldest tea factories.

🌟 And hey, you might hear about catching the sunrise here, but I’ll not hype about it. From my experience, Munnar mornings are typically overcast, so it’s unlikely to catch the sunrise!

So, enjoy a good night’s sleep to replenish your body from the long journey yesterday.

Start off for Kolukkumalai

Have an early breakfast and try to start off by 9 am though. Breakfast should be light! Soon you’ll know why. 😉

Kolukkumalai is nestled in Tamil Nadu’s Theni district, right at the border of Kerala’s Idukki. Even though it’s technically in Tamil Nadu, Munnar is the best gateway to this hidden treasure.

You need to park your car and hire a jeep from the Suryanelli tea estate gate. From there, brace yourself for 9 kilometers of pure, adrenaline-pumping off-roading.

Kolukkumalai’s tea estate sprouted back in 1920. Hovering around 8000ft, this historic site offers captivating views of the valley.

You can also see Kodaikanal from here!

The Jeep Ride through Suryanelli Tea Estate

An hour of bumpy, thrilling jeep action costs you around Rs.2000 for a group of four. It’s totally worth it.

They’ll pause at waterfalls, a watchtower, and a viewpoint – and trust me, each stop is a camera moment. We needed more than an hour to let the joy sink in, and they didn’t do anything extra for that.

Suryanelli Tea Factory Tour

Here’s where you get up close with the art of tea-making at the Suryanelli Tea Factory.

See the factory machinery chug along and workers in their element, followed by some tea tasting. Pro-tip: grab some orange pekoe tea; it’s a steal here.

🎟️Entry fee to the tea factory : Rs. 100/-

Neela Kurinji Hike

Back in November 2018, I was hunting for the Neela Kurinji blossom here, but they were past their prime. Nonetheless, other hill-flowers kept the trek lively. It’s a year-round treat, and a great place of camping.

2 PM: Refuel in Chinnakanal

Chinnakanal is not a bustling city like Munnar. On your way back you will find a couple of small-scale no-frills restaurants serving hot and tasty meals. You can have lunch there or return to your hotel for lunch.

4 PM: Anayirankal Elephant Abode Boating Center

A vast reservoir from the 1960s, Anayirankal (aka. Anayirangal) Dam sparkles at the backdrop of the lofty mountains. In Malayalam (Kerala’s native language), it literally means “where elephants come”.

The clear blue lake with beautified lakefront is one of my favorite places in Munnar. It’s way less crowded than the famous Mattupetty dam and I love it for that.

It’s about 7km from Chinnakanal and a bit further from Munnar town. The rates? Adults pay Rs. 20, kids for Rs. 10, and if you drive, parking is Rs. 30.

The Speed Boat ride for a group of 5 runs at Rs. 750. For a more leisurely cruise, the Pontoon Boat fits 20 and costs Rs. 1600 for half an hour. Keep your eye out for the deer and elephants who come to the lake to quench their thirst.

Cruise Back to Munnar Town

Munnar’s winding roads and scenic landscapes are not just about the destinations they lead to; the journey itself is equally enchanting.

As you drive back to the heart of Munnar, the transition is palpable. The quiet trails of the tea gardens gradually make way for the lively hum of the city.

Do you really need to shift hotels?

You might not. The hotels in Munnar are usually less luxurious and more expensive than in Chinnakanal. But it’s important to reach Eravikulam National Park as early as possible the next day. So, it will be ideal, (though not compulsory) to shift to a closer location, that is in Munnar town.

Best Places to Stay in Munnar

After a day’s excursion, having a comfortable place to crash is crucial. Munnar offers a range of stay options to cater to varying preferences and budgets.

While most luxury resorts away from the town, here you can get no-frills hotels with great amenities.

I recommend staying closer to the market.

🥇 Isaacs Residency

☑️ Luxury Stay☑️Great Location

This is located near the city center, close to Hydel Park. With a hot tub, spa, and spacious mountain-view rooms, this is one of the best places to stay near the city center. It is 16 km from Eravikulam National Park, so you can drive there in 30 minutes.

🥈 Abad Copper Castle

☑️ Affordable Luxury☑️Great Views

This popular Spa resort is located 16 km from Eravikulam National Park and 2km from the city center. It has great amenities and is also much cheaper than Issac Residency

🥉 Rheinberg Town Haus

☑️Pocket-friendly ☑️Good Location

Located 250m from Munnar bus station, it’s a convenient place for those who have a bus to catch for departure. It’s just 5km from Eravikulam National Park, so a great location for a neat budget hotel.

Check out other options and get the best prices below.

Shopping and Dining in Munnar Market

If you’re someone who loves to take back a piece of every place you visit, Munnar’s market won’t disappoint.

• Spices : Think cardamom, cloves, and more. Authentic and aromatic.
• Handmade Chocolates : A sweet souvenir, literally!
• Tea and Coffee : Munnar’s signature. Best enjoyed with memories of the trip.
• Al-Buhari : Known for its scrumptious array of dishes. Perfect to satiate those post-shopping hunger pangs.
• Rapsy’s Restaurant : If you’re in the mood for some comforting Indian-style Chinese or a hearty Kerala meal, this is the spot.

Day 3 – The Quintessential Munnar Sightseeing

Today we will see the main attractions of Munnar that everyone seems to talk about. Starting with Eravikulam National Park, we move on to Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, and other places. Throughout our road trip, we will see a lot of tea plantations and stop to take pictures.

We will also skip some of the popular tourist places of Munnar like Carmelagiri Elephant Camp and Top Station. I will tell you why, later.

Explore Eravikulam National Park

Eravikulam National Park, a sanctuary for the endangered Nilgiri Tahr , is a major highlight when visiting Munnar. It’s situated about 15 km from the town of Munnar, and it always has a long queue for parking as well as entry tickets.

Getting inside the park requires a ride on the safari bus. Given that the average wait time for the bus is around an hour, I’d advise getting there early.

As you’re whisked away inside, you’ll catch glimpses of cascading waterfalls from your seat.

Eravikulam is unique, having both eco-sensitive zones and specific tourist zones. These designated areas ensure both wildlife protection and sustainable tourism. The jungle safari is also unique. The bus actually drops you at the safe zone and leaves. From here you can explore the place on foot and seek the elusive Tahrs.

Explore Lakkham Falls (Optional)

If the idea of trekking piques your interest, the park offers a guided 1-hour trek to Lakkham Falls. But if you prefer a drive, then you can take a detour outside the park right to the base of the falls.

Nestled within the forest, it’s an idyllic spot for those wanting to take a dip. The best time to visit? During or just after the monsoon. However, by summer and winter, the flow diminishes, making it less appealing.

Kanan Devan Tea Estate

Eravikulam is located in the Kanan Devan Hills – an ecological hotspot. But outside that you have the Kanan Devan Tea garden and tea museum. You will not have the time to visit the museum. However, you can still see the tea garden and try spotting the Anaimudi peak. It’s the highest mountain peak in Kerala.

2 PM Lunch at Munnar Town

With the morning’s adventure behind you, head back to Munnar town for some grub. Whether it’s a local delicacy or a familiar dish, there’s something for everyone here.

Drive to Kundala Lake via Mattupetty Dam

Kundala and Mattupetty dams are both significant in their own right. While Mattupetty Dam is a favorite among tourists, buzzing with activities like boating, street food, and shopping, Kundala Dam provides a more serene experience.

If you’re someone like me who prefers the road less traveled, Kundala Lake might just be your spot.

Stop at Echo Point on Your Way Back

Just a stone’s throw away from Mattupetty (around 15km from Munnar), Echo Point is exactly what it sounds like. It’s one of those fun spots where you can shout out and hear your voice reverberate back. It’s especially a hit among kids, so if you’re traveling with family, this is a must-visit.

Dinner at Munnar

Wrap up your day with a delightful dinner back in Munnar town. Whether you crave traditional Kerala dishes or something more pan-Indian, the town caters to all palates. And hey, if you’re still in the mood for some local shopping, the night markets are worth exploring.

Day 4 of Munnar Itinerary – Bidding Adieu

As the sun rises on your last day in Munnar, there’s a mix of eagerness and nostalgia. The trip is coming to an end soon, so let’s make the best out of it.

Explore the Marayoor Sandalwood Forest and Ancient Dolmens

Marayoor, approximately 42 kilometers from Munnar town, stands distinct due to its natural sandalwood forests. To reach the forest, expect a drive of roughly an hour.

The allure of Marayoor isn’t just limited to its fragrant trees. Scattered across the forest are mysterious structures known as dolmens. These megalithic tombs, often associated with prehistoric burial practices, offer a glimpse into the region’s ancient past.

Wandering amid these historical markers, you’ll be enveloped in the forest’s tranquility and history. Allocate 1-2 hours here; the ambiance and the historical intrigue warrant it.

If you’re setting a course for Bangalore by car, Marayoor Forest is conveniently located on your way back. You shouldn’t waste any more time and head back to Bangalore.

But if you are heading to Kochi from here or have a late-night bus to Bangalore, there’s a bit more that you can squeeze in.

Kanthalloor Waterfalls (Optional)

If you’re feeling a bit adventurous you can drive to the Kanthalloor Waterfalls, 13 km from Marayoor. It requires a short downhill trek in scenic forests.

Besides the lovely waterfall, Kanthalloor village is famous for orchard of apples and oranges. Remember this will take another hour or more, so you can skip this and head to Munnar town if you don’t have that time.

Visit Attukal Waterfalls

Located only 9 km from Munnar’s city center, Attukal Waterfalls is a sight to behold. After your Marayoor Trip, if you have enough time, you can drive to this spot.

Cascading waters set against lush greenery ensure your camera gets its due, and your spirits get a little lift.

Stop by CSI Christ Church

On your journey back to Munnar town, make a quick stop at the CSI Christ Church. Rooted in history and standing testament to time, this church, built in 1910, has a Gothic aura. The stained-glass windows and the serene ambiance inside allow a moment of introspection before you continue your journey.

Visit the Rose Garden

Before the final goodbye, make your way to Munnar’s Rose Garden. The array of flowers, not just roses, paints a kaleidoscope of colors, making it a sensory delight. It’s a gentle reminder of the beauty Munnar has offered over the past few days.

Depart from Munnar

While the aroma of tea gardens still linger, it’s time to set forth. Whether you’re driving down the winding roads to Bangalore, catching a bus, or heading towards Kochi, the memories of Munnar will accompany you, urging a return someday. Safe travels!

Some Munnar Highlights I Skipped in this trip.

Munnar is a treasure trove of experiences, waiting to be explored at every corner. While optimizing the trip plan so that you could see the best in 3 or 4 days, I intentionally skipped some major tourist places in Munnar. Here’s a list of those attractions, with a bit of my take on each.

Boating in Mattupetty Dam

Mattupetty Dam is often buzzing with tourists eager to sail its waters. But if you’re like me and prefer a quieter ambiance for boating, Anayirangal is where you’d want to be. Given the limited time in a 4-day trip and the crowd in the ticket-queue, I recommend skipping the Mattupetty boating experience.

Boating at Kundala Lake 👍

A serene alternative to the bustling Mattupetty is Kundala Lake. If you couldn’t boat in Anayirangal lake, you can kayak here. The scenery here is spectacular.

Elephant Riding at Carmelagiri Park 👎

Personally, I prefer observing elephants in their natural habitat rather than in a park. The thrill of spotting them in the wild during Anayirangal boat rides or on forest drives is unparalleled. Therefore, I haven’t included this in my top picks.

You can also book an offbeat excursion to Anakulum Elephant village to see wild elephants in their natural habitat. Besides that, the tour also includes hike to Anakulam waterfall and stops at smaller waterfalls and tea estates on the way.

Tea Museum at Kanan Devan Hills 👍

The Kanan Devan Hills tea garden, with its serene landscape, offers a reprieve from the crowd at Munnar Tea Museum or even Lockhart Tea Garden. However, if you’ve experienced Kolukkumalai, and toured the highest and oldest tea factory in India, then most other places pale in comparison.

Munnar Top Station 👎

Top Station holds historical significance as it used to be the highest railway station in the valley long ago. Now the railway station doesn’t exist but it’s a famous tourist spot in Munnar which is said to offer amazing panoramic views.

However, the heavy traffic coupled with endless queues can dampen the experience. My visit in November left me underwhelmed, as the view wasn’t clear. Didn’t help that it started to rain a bit as soon as we reached the Top station.

Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary 👍

While I haven’t personally set foot here, the tales I’ve heard paint a vibrant picture of biodiversity and pristine nature. Located roughly 60 km from Munnar, it offers trekking, wildlife watching, and an opportunity to experience the region’s flora and fauna. Tariffs vary based on activities, but typically, entry fees start at INR 90 for adults.

You can book a guided day trip to Eravikulam National Park and Chinnar Wildlife sanctuary in this tour by Munnar Info. I haven’t experienced this first-hand, but the itinerary looks promising and reasonably priced for someone without a car in Munnar.

Idukki Dam 👍

If Marayoor doesn’t fit into your plans, consider driving to the architectural marvel that is Idukki Dam. Standing tall at 169 meters, it’s one of the highest arch dams in Asia. Approximately 65 km from Munnar, it’s an excellent spot for picnics and boasts of panoramic vistas.

Culinary Delights in Munnar

Munnar, with its rich cultural tapestry, extends its wealth to the culinary arena. While the verdant slopes of Munnar are known for their teas, the kitchens in this region are brimming with flavors that beckon the gastronome in every traveler.

It’s also a great place for vegetarians and vegans. Puttu with Kadala curry, appam with vegetable stew and idiyappam with coconut milk are some of the most famous vegan dishes in Munnar. Kerala sadya , the full platter of rice, vegetables, curry, payasam and fruits served in banana leaf is a must-have when in Munnar.

In essence, Munnar’s culinary landscape is a testament to Kerala’s age-old traditions and rich flavors. Whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan, or a meat-lover, the town promises a gustatory journey that lingers long after the trip ends.

If you have read this far, you must have got your Munnar itinerary sorted by now. I want Munnar travel guide to be a comprehensive resource for your trip planning. So, here are a few more questions about the trip planning answered for you.

But before that, bookmark the best travel sites for Munnar, and India in general.

What is the best time to visit Munnar?

The ideal time to visit Munnar is between October and January. The heavy rain subsides in October leaving behind light showers and pleasantly cool weather. While the monsoon, from June to August, offers sensational views of hills studded with seasonal waterfalls it may bring intermittent heavy showers. Avoid the peak summer months, as it can get quite hot.

How about a 3-Day Munnar itinerary?

A Munnar itinerary for 3 days is the same as following my 4-day trip plan from Day 1 to Day 3. Since you need to depart on day 3 itself, depending on when you plan to leave, you can start right after your trip to Eravikulam, or after visiting the Kundala dam and Echo Point at Mattupetty.

Have an even shorter holiday? You can visit Munnar in 2 days but it’s not ideal . You should then confine yourself to the places in and around Munnar town. Visit the tea gardens, tea museum, Kundala Dam and Echo point on the first day. On the second day explore Eravikulam National Park and Attukal Waterfalls before you depart.

If you only have one day in Munnar, drive to the Kanan Devan Hills and enjoy the lovely views on your way. If interested, visit the tea museum before you drive to Mattupetty Dam which is the closest. You can stop at small waterfalls and abundant viewpoints on your way.

If time permits you can also visit the rose garden or hydel blossom park. Don’t trust absurd guides on internet which say you can explore Rajamalai (Eravikulam National Park), Attukad falls, Kundala dam all in one day. Book this one-day sightseeing tour to best optimise your schedule.

How to pack for Munnar?

Munnar has a pleasant temperate climate throughout the year. For people living in cooler regions, the bright sunny days of Munnar can feel quite hot. So just pack in comfortable clothes and a pair of good walking shoes.

No need to pack woolens in winter. Just a light jacket will be enough. Don’t forget to pack rain-jackets or umbrella to account for light showers all-year-round.

Hope this post helps you in Munnar trip planning. I have tried to include all important information. However, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Wow, what an amazing and informative post! I really know nothing about this area, but thanks to you, now I feel like I do!

Some great tips here! I’m off to India in April and will definitely be saving this for later

Thanks Emma! That’s great to know that you are headed to India. Do keep Kerala in your itinerary

Munnar looks beautiful. There’s something about those rolling hills and tea plantations that takes you back to a different age. Although I would like to see it now, post-colonialism etc! Thanks for this comprehensive guide, I will bookmark for later use.

Thanks a lot Hannah. The rampant tea plantation by colonisers had a damaging effect on the ecosystem of western ghats. But they look gorgeous. Now there have been measures taken to protect eco-sensitive zones from commercialisation.

I’m not familiar with Munnar so found this post so educational. All of your recommendations are so beautiful and your itinerary is perfect!

Munnar is our favorite hill station in the whole of India! I love those carpeted tea fields, the tea museum and the scenice beauty. The waterfalls add to the beauty of this place. I must make another visit to Munnar to tick off all the places worth visiting 🙂

A complete travel guide to munnar: the tea capital of kerala, india.

• Post published: July 28, 2021
• Post category: India
• Post author: Charu Goyal

Home to misty waterfalls, winding paths, and an unending expanse of tea plantations, Munnar in Kerala is one of the most popular places to visit in South India. Blessed with pristine valleys, endangered flora and fauna, calming lakes, and verdant forests, it may very well be one of the most beautiful places in India too.

Situated at an altitude of 1600 metres above the sea level, Munnar is a picturesque hill station and town in the Idukki district of Kerala. Accessed via an encircling road that passes through a myriad of scenic waterfalls, thriving vegetation, and mesmerising views of the Western Ghats, it is a sightseeing gem that once served as a summer resort for the British colonists.

Being the first stop on my Kerala trip in February last year, I spent two days exploring Munnar with my best friend. Meandering around acres of tea estates nestled between humongous mountains covered with low-lying clouds, I instantly comprehended Kerala’s much enthused title of God’s own country. So much so that I nearly teared up at the thought of leaving.

However, planning our trip to Munnar wasn’t equally wistful. There is a lot of information out there about what to do and see in Munnar, but barely anything that clarifies the mystery that Munnar’s layout is. I kid you not, I must have spent hours looking at the map of Munnar and reading Kerala guides after guides to just understand which area to stay in.

So, if you are planning to visit Munnar and are in the same boat as I once was, then worry not. In this guide, you will find all the essential topics ranging from the different areas to stay in Munnar, how to get there, best places to visit, which tea plantations to go to, where to eat and so on.

Where exactly is Munnar in India?

Munnar is the tea capital of Kerala, the southernmost state in India. Renowned for its natural beauty and wealth of pictorial sights, Kerala is one of the most incredible destinations to visit in Asia. Bordering the Arabian Sea on the west; it is an Indian state that is admired globally for its humid tropical wet climate.

Munnar is located at the union of Muthirapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala mountain streams in the South-Western Ghats of India. Its name fittingly translates to “three rivers” in Malayalam, the local language of Kerala. Sitting on the Kochi-Dhanushkodi National Highway (N.H. 49), Munnar is around 130 km from Kochi. Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu is also close at a distance of roughly 157 km.

Although Munnar is commonly referred to as a hill station and trains did go up to its town centre and beyond once, that is simply not possible anymore. There was a dreadful flooding in the area in 1924, which ended up destroying much of the railway and ropeway, connecting Munnar to other major Indian cities. You can find remains of the old railway tracks on the Kundala-Top Station route even today.

The longstanding railway station, however, now operates as the local office of Tata Tea. The old platform outside it has also been converted into a road. Yet, this doesn’t mean that Munnar isn’t easily reachable nowadays. Being one of the most sought-after hill stations in South India, Munnar is still well connected to nearby airports and stations via road.

How to best reach there?

Whether you are travelling from domestic Indian cities or visiting directly from international destinations, there are many ways to get to the town of Munnar. Here are the most common transport options to help you decide the best mode for you:

Since Munnar doesn’t have an airport of its own, the nearest one that you can fly into is in Kochi. Cochin International Airport is located about 125 km away from Munnar. It is well connected to most cities in India and around the world. From there, you can hire a private taxi to Munnar directly when you arrive or pre-book one and have it ready for you at arrivals. Check flights to Cochin International Airport here!

I flew into Kochi from Mumbai early in the morning and just booked the transfer to our hotel in Munnar at the airport itself. There is a booking counter right after baggage claim in the arrivals lounge and you can easily get fixed price transports from there (No, haggling wouldn’t make a difference). The entire process is really organised and hassle free as you get a booking slip upon payment and meet your driver outside.

CG’s tip: Just make sure to have the proper address of your accommodation with you and not of Munnar town simply. Munnar refers to both the town and its surrounding areas, so accommodations are sometimes further out or nearer to the centre. Depending on where yours is based, you might be asked to pay a little extra or less, so it is better to check beforehand. 

Our accommodation was actually higher up from the general drop-off point, so our AC taxi with two large suitcases cost us INR 3350 for the drop-off . If you are travelling alone or are tight on budget, then you can even get a bus transfer. There are several bus companies running frequent buses between Cochin International Airport and Munnar. Though, none of them are direct as of yet. If you would prefer a direct bus, then you can head to the closeby Aluva bus stop (12 km away) and get a bus to Munnar from there .

The closest railway station to Munnar is in Aluva (110 km), which is slightly nearer compared to the centre of Kochi. Angamaly (Kalady) Railway Station is also at a similar distance. But if you are looking for better connectivity to other parts of India with frequent express trains, then Ernakulam might be the best option.

The Ernakulam Railway Station in Kochi is at a distance of 130 km from Munnar and has more daily trains arriving from faraway cities like Mumbai and Delhi . The Madurai Railway Station in Tamil Nadu is also around 135 km away, so you can check online and see which one might be a better choice for your departure city.

Irrespective of which railway station do you arrive at out of the mentioned above, there are onward buses and taxis available for Munnar from all. You can either walk to the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus stand near your station and take a local bus, or get a prepaid taxi from arrivals / book a taxi from Kochi to Munnar online .

Snuggled between splendid hills, Munnar is one of the most beautiful places to drive to. Regardless of how you choose to get there, chances are that you will be arriving into town by road. One of the popular ways to travel to Munnar is hiring a car to self-drive or booking a taxi . Since most places to see in Munnar are very spread out, I personally think having your own vehicle can be a bliss whilst there.

Munnar is also well connected to numerous state and national highways across India via public transport. You can book buses online via redBus or turn up at a stop and buy a ticket in person. However, the local, state run buses by KSRTC might be a better choice as they operate more frequently to mountainous areas where many public buses don’t often go. When taking a KSRTC bus from Kochi to Munnar, you can expect to pay somewhere around INR 130 per person.

CG’s tip: If arriving in a private vehicle, do not forget to make pit-stops on the way to enjoy the abundant viewpoints as you gain elevation and snap pictures by the oodles of waterfalls that will surprise you en route. If coming by bus, then get a window seat and purely admire the verdant visions from your ride!

Onward Transport from Munnar

When it’s nearly time to leave, you can simply arrange for the transport in Munnar itself. Our next stop on the Kerala trip was Kumarakom and we got a private taxi for INR 3300 in Munnar town the night before. There are various travel agents and ticketing shops around town from where you can book your preferred onward transfer.

Buses operate daily from / to Kumarakom, Alleppey, Kochi, Coimbatore, Madurai and more. You can browse bus routes on the KSRTC website here. Alternatively, you can book a taxi or hire a car to anywhere you would like to go.

What is the best time to visit Munnar?

Munnar is one of those destinations that can be enjoyed throughout the year due to its adequate climate. Whether you are looking to find some solace during the scorching Indian heat in summer, or are thinking of a mountainous getaway during the winter season in India; Munnar, being a hill station, is a treat anyhow.

Summer (March to May)

Summer starts arriving in Munnar from March and usually lasts till May. With temperatures ranging between 19-35 degrees Celsius , it is a great time to visit Munnar and enjoy the cool air amidst acres of tea plantations. Early morning and night time in Munnar are generally cool throughout the year, so you will still get a hill station feel even in summer.

Munnar is also known to have less humidity and rainfall during the summer months. Because of this, you might notice a surge of prices when travelling to Munnar during this time as many domestic tourists head there to escape the heat. From hiking in the Western Ghats to going camping and exploring waterfalls, there are a plethora of activities that you can take part in in summer.

This time of the year is also when many seasonal activities like paragliding, rock climbing, rappelling and other adventure sports are available. You can also go on a trek to Anamudi – the highest point in India (outside the Himalayan Mountain Ranges) at 2,695 metres above the ground.

CG’s tip: Munnar could still experience light rain showers in the summer. It is a good idea to carry a light sweater or jacket and an umbrella or raincoat for your visit.

Monsoon (June to September)

Monsoon season in Munnar comes with its own charm. The arrival of shimmering rain transforms the sprawling tea estates and lush forests of Munnar into an even more alluring, verdant and vibrant scene. Cloudy skies and heavy waterfalls further add to the overall atmosphere and make way for a pleasant time.

Munnar experiences heavy rainfall with an average of 533 mm rain during the months of June and July. If you are planning to visit Munnar during monsoon s , then keep in mind that many touristic activities might not be available . The roads leading to Munnar and around it can also be slippery during this time, so I would advise to head there only during the day and not at night.

Having said that, most accommodations in Munnar are typically cheaper during monsoon (due to off-season). You can even book a room overlooking the lush hills and enjoy the view with a hot cup of chai when the rain pours. The town in general is quieter too, so it can be a more relaxing time to visit. However, with rain comes leeches, so be careful when going into grassy areas during monsoon. There could also be road blockages and landslides in monsoon, so I would personally avoid visiting then.

CG’s tip: Trekking and hiking might not be possible to do in Munnar during monsoon as the surface becomes slippery. Though, it might still be a good idea to carry footwear that you would not mind getting dirty along with some warm clothing and an umbrella or raincoat .

Winter (October to February)

Winter is the best time to visit a hill station like Munnar. With crisp afternoons, icy dawns, and pleasant dusks, it is easy to understand why most tourists head to Munnar between October and February. The average temperature in Munnar during this time is around 10 degrees Celsius . But since it is situated on high terrains and is surrounded by vast empty lands, the air tends to feel colder than that.

I visited Munnar in the beginning of February and loved the climate. The afternoons were hot enough to wander around in a t-shirt, but a jacket was still needed during auto-rickshaw rides and at night time. From hiking, trekking and mountain climbing, to gazing at waterfalls and walking amidst tea plantations, there were plenty of activities to engage in. Just remember that it is the busiest tourist season in Kerala, so you should expect to see large crowds!

From the month of November to January, Munnar sometimes experiences occasional snowfall and cold waves with recorded temperature dipping down below 0 degrees Celsius. If you are planning to visit during the blooming of Neelakurinji flowers, then September to October might be a better choice. But if weather is the deciding factor, then I personally found February to have been perfect .

CG’s tip: When packing warm clothes for the trip, make sure to bring layers with you. Since the temperature increases in the day and then drops again at night, it would be comfortable to have easily changeable options with you.

How many days are enough?

In order to see the best of Munnar, I would recommend visiting there for three full days. I was there for a short trip so could only stay for two days and thus, ended up missing a few things that I would have liked to explore and do. 

Most places to see in Munnar are spread out from each other and divided into routes according to their location. You will most likely have to dedicate a day to each route in order to see the touristic spots in that area. Since I was there for only two days, I could only do two routes. 

We were able to see quite a few places, but I have to admit that I felt a little rushed on the first day. Since we made our way from Kochi airport on the same day, we could not begin the tour early in the morning and hence had limited time. Even though the driving distance between Kochi and Munnar isn’t that much, the duration often takes longer due to the windy, singular road.

However, if you are short on time, then it is possible to do a private day trip to Munnar from Kochi. You’ll usually begin your journey at sunrise and be back in Kochi for dinner!

Where to stay in Munnar?

This is one question that I struggled with the most when planning my trip to Kerala. Since Munnar refers to both the town and its general surrounding area, many nice hotels and resorts there are actually located far off the centre. Having not been there before, I personally found it difficult to gauge how far away would it be okay to stay in terms of food, transport, touristic sites and so on.

I had always dreamt of staying at a beautiful accommodation with panoramic views of the plantations and the greenery that Munnar is known for. However, resorts like that can be scattered anywhere up to 20-25 kilometres of radius from the centre. So, if you do not have your own vehicle with you, it can become costlier to get around and to access the restaurants in the town centre for dinner.

So how do you choose where to stay? Well, know that Munnar is divided into three broad areas that each have something different to offer. Depending on what your preference, budget and purpose of the trip is, you can see which one suits your needs best and stay there. 

Old Munnar is a small settlement that is not too far from Munnar Town. It is a decent area with many budget accommodations and some nice viewpoints close by. If you are arriving to Munnar in a bus from Kochi, then Old Munnar is where the buses would usually stop first. Being in close proximity with a bus stop, Old Munnar is a convenient area to get to and from.

I visited Old Munnar to see some photo points and spice gardens around there, and the neighbourhood looked acceptable. I wouldn’t go as far as saying that this is the best area to stay in Munnar. But if you are after economical properties that are away from the town centre noise and traffic, then Old Munnar is a decent choice. Especially since it is still close enough to easily get there if needed.

From the research that I have done, Grand Plaza and Greenview Holiday Inn look like the best options in Old Munnar. Greenview Holiday Inn is located right on the Main Street connecting Munnar to Kochi, while Grand Plaza has some rooms with beautiful views going for it. Other properties like Deshadan Mountain Resort and Fragrant Nature Munnar are a tad further away, but come with beautiful tea estate views and luxury that is otherwise rare in the hills. The Abad Copper Castle Resort is also nearby and has great balcony views.

Munnar Town

Munnar Town is the commercial centre of the area. If you are looking to stay somewhere with easy access to restaurants, accommodations, ATMs and other tourism related services, then this is the best option for you. Though, it may not be the most postcard worthy choice. 

With many hotel buildings and shops nearby, the view in Munnar Town is merely ordinary. I stayed at a walking distance from the main market there and felt like I missed on the proper hill station experience that one would go to a place like Munnar for. Most places to sightsee in Munnar are also not actually in the centre, so it certainly lacks when it comes to scenery.

However, with an array of eateries present in almost every nook, I admit that it was convenient to grab a quick albeit delicious bite at any given time and just go for an escapade. Containing the town’s main taxi stand near the market, Munnar town also ended up being a convenient base to hire auto rickshaws or private cabs for day tours in and around Munnar.

You can check out my hotel in Munnar Town here . We just went there to sleep, so I cannot say much about the service. But, it was easy on the pocket. If you are looking for something more decent, then the nearby Tea County looks great.

Out of Town Munnar

If commercialised areas aren’t your thing and you would rather enjoy the idyllic views that Munnar is mainly famous for, then staying a little out of town might be the best choice for you. With numerous guesthouses, hotels, resorts and treehouses (!!) spread around a 20-30 minute drive from Munnar, there is a wide list of options to choose from for every budget when staying out of town.

Depending on what you choose (eg: a guesthouse by the tea plantations), there may be less restaurants situated close to your accommodation. But since most places like that have an on-site restaurant, you can always double check before making a booking or request for arrangements in advance. Nearly all out of town properties also have a concierge service and can make transportation s and day-tour s bookings for you. 

CG’s tip: If you are taking a bus to get to Munnar, then make sure to check which bus stop is closest to it. A lot of the properties are in or near Munnar Bypass, so buses usually stop there first before heading to the town.

One of the best out of town properties is the luxurious Kaivalyam Wellness Retreat . It is situated midst a beautiful spice plantation and has free shuttle bus services to the main town. The Elixir Hills Suites Resort and Spa and Blanket Hotel Spa also look equally stunning. If you like waterfalls, then you can even get a room with a view of a mesmerising waterfall at Blanket Hotel Spa. Last but not the least, The Panoramic Getaway also is a great choice.

How to get around Munnar?

Since most places to see in Munnar are far (like covering national parks and forest reserves far!) from the centre, you cannot simply walk to a landmark and explore independently. If you have your own vehicle with you, then yes, you can drive in any direction you like. But for most travellers, you will either need to use a public bus, hire an auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk) or a private taxi.

CG’s tip: If you want to drive your own vehicle or take a bus, then remember to write down the timings, directions and other necessary information for the way back. Since some spots are situated even higher up than Munnar town, cellular network doesn’t really work there so you might not have any connectivity from time-to-time.

Public buses run all the way to Top Station and are easy to find from the town centre. However, due to the winding nature of the road taking you there and the distance involved, these buses can take longer than anticipated. 

I wanted to have more freedom in regards to being able to stop wherever I liked, so I didn’t personally try this option.

Auto Rickshaw or Taxi Tour

Because there are so many wonderful spots and directions to go explore when in Munnar, getting around in a privately hired vehicle may be your best bet. Depending on your budget, you can book a taxi or auto rickshaw for a day tour and have the drivers take you around your chosen spots and back.

Since most touristic sights around Munnar fall on a certain route, you will find taxi and auto rickshaw drivers offering customised tours for various different ones. These drivers almost always carry a route card / brochure with pictures of the most famous spots with them, so you can have a look at the options and go with the one that interests you best.

Depending on how further you opt to go and the duration of your chosen tour, a price will then be quoted to you. Auto-rickshaw tours are typically around INR 700-1000 per day and the taxi charges are nearly double that. The asking price can be at least twice these figures (especially if you are not from around there) so don’t forget to haggle beforehand. 

The four most common routes are towards the Mattupetti, Marayoor (or Coimbatore), Cochin, and Thekkady directions. We decided to take the Top Station / Mattupetti tour on Day 1 from the town centre and it cost us INR 900 for an auto-rickshaw option. For Day 2, we chose the Cochin direction tour (with the same driver) which cost us INR 1000 with a hotel pick-up and drop off. 

The best thing about our tour was that the driver was very accommodating and didn’t mind stopping at random stops for pictures. He was also very knowledgeable about the places we visited, so it was like getting a tour guide and a driver for the price of one. But, keep in mind that none of these tours cover entrance fees for any attractions.

Renting a Motorbike

This used to be a very popular means of getting in and around Munnar up to a few years back. With an encircling road situated right in the lap of nature, adventure loving travellers often enjoyed touring around in pocket friendly motorbikes to explore Munnar on their own. However, due to reasons unclear, this is no longer possible.

Though based upon my chat with my auto-rickshaw driver and other locals, it did look like there are actually multiple causes behind it. There seemed to have been some accidents involving the rental motorbikes in the past (which for a hill station like Munnar sounds likely) and seemingly fatalities too. 

However, I was also told that since other tour operators and locals weren’t benefitting with tourists hiring their own vehicle for cheap, the government had to intervene and prohibit motorbike rentals.

Places to see and things to do in Munnar

Where do I even begin with this one? For a town oozing with touristic sights and hidden gems, saying that there is plenty to see in Munnar would be an understatement. From seeing elephants in their natural habitat to visiting the most elevated tea plantation in the world, here are some places that you can explore on your next trip to Munnar:

Mattupetty Dam

Mattupetty Dam is a concrete storage gravity dam that is used to generate hydroelectricity in the area. It was constructed in the Idukki district in the late 1940s and is said to be the first of its kind in the entire state of Kerala. 

Surrounded by lush forests and verdant tea plantations that reflect beautifully on the water in the lake, it is also a much renowned picnic spot in Munnar. There are several stalls offering local delicacies like roasted corn and coconut water around. You can also bring your own food there and enjoy it by the lakeshore.

Mattupetty Dam is also known for spotting Asiatic Elephants. Due to the water availability in the lake, many such wild animals and birds can be occasionally seen from there. And if you like adventures, then there is also a beautiful trekking path leading to nearby forests. Water activities like speed and motor boating in the dam are available too.

Distance: 13 km away from Munnar Route: Munnar to Top Station / Mattupetti Direction route Opening hours: 09:30 am – 05:00 pm

Echo Point is a beautiful spot located at an altitude of 600 feet on the banks of a glistening lake. With panoramic views of three mountain ranges and evergreen forests, it is one of those places that is destined to leave you spellbound. 

Echo Point is also famous for its natural phenomenon of echoing. So, when visiting, make sure to shout something by the shore of the lake and hear your voice reverberate back to you in sometime. I will admit that I didn’t really expect much from it at first, but the moment you first hear your own echo, it truly is enthralling.

You can also walk around the gentle slopes, trek, or go on a boating expedition while there. I, for one, even loved sitting and gazing at the incredible landscape in front. Echo Point is also home to misty low-lying clouds and some very tall trees.

CG’s tip: Echo Point is a beautiful spot to take Instagram photos in Munnar. So don’t forget to carry your camera with you and take some pictures to remember this natural paradise by.

Distance: 15 km away from Munnar Route: Munnar to Top Station / Mattupetti Direction route Opening hours : 06:00 am – 07:30 pm

Kundala Lake

Snuggled between green valleys, Kundala Lake is one of the most beautiful places to see in Munnar. Located at a height of 1700 metres above sea level, it is a tranquil spot situated on the way to Top Station. One of the well-known attractions to see when visiting Kundala Lake is the artificial Kundala dam. Also known as Sethuparvathipuram dam, it is said to be Asia’s first ever arch dam.

The lake is also a popular spot for boat rides such as the traditional Kashmiri Shikara boat. Other types of boating like row boating, paddle boating or speed boating are also available for hire. With the sun reflecting on the clear water and making it gleam in every direction possible, Kundala Lake is indeed a must visit sight for nature lovers. 

This area is also a significant place to see cherry blossoms. Blooming only twice a year, the cherry gardens surrounding Kundala Lake turn the entire lake into a more magical location. Being a paradise full of beautiful flowers, Kundala Lake is also home to the famous Neelakurinji flowers that bloom once every twelve years. The next sighting of the Neelakurinji flowers is supposed to be in 2030!

CG’s tip: Kundala Lake looks even more mesmerising under the first rays of sun. Make sure to arrive here early in the morning to see it in all its glory.

Distance: 20 km from Munnar Route: Munnar to Top Station / Mattupetti Direction route Opening hours: 09:00 am – 05:00 pm (Boating closes at 04:30 pm)

Top Station

Top Station is the last stop on the Mattupetti direction route. If you are looking to enjoy panoramic views of the Western Ghats and the Theni district valley, then driving to the Top Station should definitely be on your Munnar list. It might not technically be a ‘top station’ anymore due to the destruction of the railway tracks there, but it is certainly still the ‘top’ of Munnar. On a clear day, you can even see Tamil Nadu from there!

Like most touristic sights in the Kanan Devan hills, Top Station is also best enjoyed early in the morning. Because it is located 1880 metres above sea level, it can get surrounded by clouds more easily. Once the clouds come in, it becomes harder to see the incomparable views that the location is famous for. Top Station is also popular to spot the rare Neelakurinji flowers. There are a few tea farms nearby too. If you like chai, then you can even grab a cuppa and some snacks at the Top Station and enjoy the misty view in front.

However, do keep in mind that it can get really crowded there. When I visited around sunset time in February 2020,  tourists in Munnar were very limited due to the coronavirus. I was told by my auto-rickshaw driver that sometimes it can even take an entire day to get there and back due to the traffic in peak season. 

Distance: 40 km from Munnar Route : Munnar to Top Station / Mattupetti Direction route Opening hours: 06:00 am to 06:00 pm

Spice Gardens

There are many spice gardens in and around Munnar. Although a tad touristy, doing a tour of spice plantations is interesting if you want to see how the indigenous spices (like turmeric, ashwangandha , pepper, etc.) of the region grow. Typically, you will start by buying your tickets from the counter and have a guide take you around. You can try the species you like, learn about them, take some photographs and then exit through the gift shop.

The one that I visited was part of the auto-rickshaw tour in Cochin direction. It is called Spice County and the tickets cost INR 100 per person. We were taken to the starting point of the plantation in a rather adventurous jeep drive. Our tour lady was nice and wasn’t giving any unnecessary information to try to sell the products from the gift shop. However, others could insist on purchasing something.

The Cinnamon Gardens Spice Plantation is another popular one to visit in Munnar.

Distance: 6 km from Munnar Route: Munnar to Cochin direction Opening hours: 08:00 am to 06:00 pm

Tea Plantations and Museum

You cannot go to Munnar and not visit a tea plantation or factory! With more than 1500 acres of land covered with tea, it is truthfully present in every corner there. You can drive past them and stop on the highway to take photos from the various viewpoints that you will come across. Or, go on a tour, learn how it is cultivated, engage in tea tasting and bring some back home.

But if you are looking to get those Instagram perfect pictures of yourself strolling around in tea fields, then know that most aren’t open to the public. The Tata Group actually owns the majority of them, so you will need a special permit to enter as they are usually surrounded by pointed wires. Nonetheless, there are hiking and jeep tours in Munnar that go through the tea fields, so you can do one at sunrise and get some beautiful photos.

Some plantations like Chinnakanal Tea Fields, Kolukkumalai Tea Estate and Lockhart Tea Estate also allow visitors to explore the tea fields with a purchase of a ticket. The Kolukkumalai Tea Estate is the highest organic tea factory in the world. A jeep tour of it was recommended to me by many locals and tourists. This walking tour takes you amidst tea plantations and involves tea leaf picking and tea tasting as well!

CG’s tip: I was only in Munnar for a short while so I didn’t get the chance to do a tour. But, the auto-rickshaw driver we went with knew some tea plantations that were open to enter (I double-checked with the staff there too) and on the way. If you can, I would recommend doing a tour though as I do feel that I missed out on it.

Pothamedu Viewpoint

Nestled amidst tea and coffee plantations, the Pothamedu Viewpoint offers panoramas of the nearby valley, is a good place for photographs, and is said to be beautiful at sunset time. 

We visited around noon on Day 2 and I personally felt that it wasn’t worth going out of our way to reach there. It might have been because I went to more scenic places the day before or the weather condition, but it didn’t wow me like the other places did.

Having said that, I did enjoy walking around the Pothamedu viewpoint and found a tea plantation that was open to visit. The area is also known to be a good hiking and trekking spot. But if you are visiting with young kids, then be careful as the drop on the other side is really high and there is barely any safety.

Distance: 5 km from Munnar Route: Munnar to Cochin direction Opening hours: 09:00 am to 07:30 pm

Eravikulam National Park

The Eravikulam National Park is one of the many wildlife parks near Munnar. Home to the endangered Nilgiri Tahr mountain ungulates, the highest peak of Anamudi, and the famous Neelakurinji flowers; it is a much-loved tourist destination in Kerala. 

Unlike other national parks around the world, the Eravikulam National Park actually gives visitors the rare freedom to walk around instead of doing a traditional (jeep) safari. There is a designated area where you can stay as long as you wish to and try to spot a Nilgiri Tahr. If interested, you can also book a private hiking tour with the park in advance and go on a 2-3 hour guided expedition. The Eravikulam National Park requires everyone to buy a permit to enter.

In their attempt to do right by the Nilgiri Tahrs, the Kerala government ensures that they remain undisturbed during the calving season. So keep in mind that each year the park remains closed sometime from January for three months straight. Since I visited Munnar in February last year, I could not go to Eravikulam National Park because of this reason.

CG’s tip: The park might be closed during monsoon too, so if you are heading to Munnar to view it, then don’t forget to check in advance.

Distance: 15 km from Munnar Route: Munnar to Marayoor / Coimbatore direction Opening hours: 07:30 am to 04:00 pm

Lakkam Waterfalls

Lakkam Waterfalls is a beautiful stream close to the Eravikulam National Park. It is one of the most serene places to see in Munnar and is also known as Lakkom waterfalls. You can visit here to simply admire the waterfalls amidst rich flora or go swimming in the crystal-clear plunge pool that forms at the bottom of the lake. The water is usually icy cold, which can be both a blessing or suffering depending on the season you are visiting in.

Lakkam Waterfalls is also known as a great trekking spot in the area, so you can also book a tour for the same if you like. Just remember to not hike there during the monsoon season as the rocks can be slippery. The waterfall is also surrounded by beautiful Vaga trees that make the area even more appealing.

Distance : 25 km from Munnar Route: Munnar to Marayoor / Coimbatore direction  Opening hours: 08:00 am to 05:00 pm

Some other noteworthy waterfalls to visit in Munnar are Attukal (aka Attukad) waterfalls, Cheeyapara Waterfalls, Chinnakanal Waterfalls and Kuthumkal Waterfalls. But since cascades are in abundance there, you will probably come across many more during your time in Munnar.

Where to eat in Munnar?

South Indian food is one of my all-time favourites so I was really excited to eat my weight in the local delicacies of Munnar. Here are some places that I would recommend for good vegetarian food in Munnar:

Saravana Bhavan: Saravana Bhavan is a well-known, vegetarian South Indian chain around the world. You can expect to find good quality and hygienic local specialities like dosas, idlis , appams, thalis and more here. It is situated in Munnar market and is easy on the pocket too. I had a Rava Masala Dosa along with some idlis and found everything really tasty. I also loved that the food was served on an authentic banana leaf. Unfortunately, we only went here on our last night; otherwise we could have gone back for seconds!

Tea Tales Café: Tea Tales Café is a newly opened eatery by an adventure company in Munnar. It is situated on a higher floor on a busy street in Munnar Town, making it less noisy if you sit inside (outdoor seating is available too). If you need a break from the local food, you can find good vegetarian and vegan options like sandwiches, pastas, smoothies, etc. there. They also have a huge spread of coffees and local teas.

Hotel Gurubhavan: Hotel Gurubhavan was located a mere 5-minute walk from our hotel, so we decided to visit it for dinner one night. We arrived earlier than the standard Indian dinner time, but the place was packed with local tourists within minutes. The price was very reasonable and the food was decent too (we ordered a dosa and some Indian curry with naan). However, they did make another family sit on our table and have us share it with them without even asking which was a little weird.

County Cuisine: Tea County is a hotel operated by the Kerala Government and its multi-cuisine restaurant on site is called County Cuisine. I personally didn’t get to visit it, but from the recommendations I got and the reviews online, it looks like a nice place to get some Indian and Asian food. The restaurant is vegetarian friendly and offers some nice views.

Rochas Restaurant: Rochas restaurant was another eatery in Munnar that was near our hotel. We had jeera aloo and paneer butter masala with some garlic naans and everything was nice. I personally wanted to eat idlis , but for some reason a lot of the South Indian food was available only for breakfast. Not something that I was expecting in Kerala, but it was a touristy place so maybe that’s why.

Other than this, we just had our meals in decent looking places close to where we were. Since Munnar is a hill station, you might not find a huge number of modern restaurants around. Our hotel didn’t have a restaurant on site, but if yours does, then you can always eat there.

What to buy in Munnar?

Munnar is known for many things so if you like souvenir shopping or bringing a loved one a little something, then don’t forget to check out the local markets in the town. Since Munnar is also referred to as the tea capital of Kerala, some tea is always nice to remember it by. I also brought some coffee home for my family and they seemed to really enjoy it.

There are also many shops in Munnar town selling homemade chocolates. You can get flavours like fruit and nuts, chilli chocolates, white/dark, etc. The spice plantation I visited also had a chocolate shop near it, so it might be better to buy from them directly instead of a convenience store in the town.

Last but not the least, since Kerala is known for its Ayurveda practices, you can also buy essential oils, handmade soaps, incense sticks and other natural care products.

What to pack for Munnar?

•  It is really common for showers to appear from nowhere due to the high altitude of Munnar, so make sure to bring an umbrella or waterproof clothing.
• If you plan to take an auto-rickshaw tour, then it might be better to pack something to cover your face or eyes. There is a lot of dust when it’s windy, so we were thankful to have face masks and some eye gear .
•  A jacket ! Even if you are coming in the summer, places like Munnar do get cold at night, so it is useful to have a light layer in case you need it.

• Getting some light cotton clothes is also a good idea. The temperatures seem to fluctuate a lot so it can get really hot and humid during the day. I was there in February and was only comfortable in sleeveless maxi dresses or t-shirts during the day.
• Mosquitos are quite common in Munnar, especially near water bodies. Make sure to take some mosquito repellent with you.
• And of course, a camera! There are going to be countless photo opportunities for you in Munnar, so don’t forget to pack it. This is the one that I’m currently using.
• Munnar and especially Eravikulam National Park is great for wildlife photographers. So, if you have one, then bringing a zoom lens is also recommended.

Some things to know before visiting Munnar

• Even though there are ATMs in and around Munnar, I would recommend to always have some cash on you. The network in Munnar isn’t all that reliable and the auto-rickshaw and roadside vendors only take cash.
• If you are arriving into Munnar on the same day as taking a tour then I would recommend leaving the Top Station one for your second day instead. Since we could only start ours around mid-day, I felt a little rushed towards the end as it started getting dark before we could cover some spots.
• Even though there are a lot of hiking and trekking spots in Munnar, most are only accessible with a guide. If you rather go independently, then research in advance to double check if you are even allowed to access your preferred location.
• If you want to trek to the Anamudi Peak inside the Eravikulam National Park then you can get permission from the Forest and Wildlife authorities at Eravikulam.
• Last but not the least, please do not support elephant villages and other places that use animals as an attraction. Munnar is a place where you can watch them in their natural habitat drinking water by the lake, so there really is no good reason to contribute to animal cruelty.

Final Thoughts

Munnar is a truly incredible destination and it boosts so many interesting lakes, waterfalls, national parks and tea estates that you will never experience a dearth of options when visiting there. It may look like a small town at first, but the surrounding areas are so vast that there will always be new places to stumble upon. Aptly known as ‘Kashmir of the South’, Munnar truly is one of the best places I have visited in India so far!

I hope this detailed guide about Munnar helped you get a good hold of Kerala’s tea capital and inspired you to discover more of South India. If have any questions or would like to add anything, then please do not hesitate to leave a comment below. I love hearing from you!

Did you visit Thekkady? That’s another stunning place in Kerala.

Hi Pradeep. No, I did not get to visit Thekkady on this trip unfortunately. It looks really beautiful though and I hope to travel there sometime soon!

Guess What? I was planning to go to Munnar and thought to visit your blog to see what you’re up to and whether any new post has been uploaded by you or not.

And I saw Munnar in the recent post :), you have covered everything in detail. Can you tell me something about the treks in Munnar? from your experience if you have managed to do?

Hi Vansh, thank you so much for reading the post. I am happy to hear that it has been helpful in planning your Munnar trip.

Since I was there only for two nights, I did not get the time to go on a trek myself. But I have heard some good things about the guys at Tea Tales Cafe. They also run their own adventure company, so if you like, you can enquire about treks in person when visiting their cafe in the town centre.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. And have a safe trip!

Thanks Charu for the Info. Keep Inspiring!

Wow, stunning! I will most definitely visit when I’m back in that part of the world because I LOVE tea and nature 🙂 And that food looks delicious!!

I hope you get to return this side soon, Natalie. It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to say that the air in Munnar smells of tea. You’d really like it!

These tea fields look absolutely stunning and I love your photography! I think we would also love to visit the tea markets in town. Markets, in general, are always so interesting to us because we don’t have anything like that in the US.

Thank you for your kind words, Shelby. And yes, I get what you mean by that. Markets in India are a big thing and although noisy, they do have a charm of their own.

your photos are gorgeous, and all the food looks amazing! i’d really hope to visit munnar, when it’s safe, and i will use your post as a guide… it was so thorough & inspirational 🇮🇳

Thank you so much, Shelley. I hope that the situation here becomes better soon and that you are able to visit when it does. The entire state of Kerala has some of the best food that I have had in the country- I am sure you will like it too!

Lovely post, thanks for sharing! Munnar is on my bucket list and hope to visit soon.

Thank you for reading, Camilla! I hope you can explore Munnar really soon 💗

Great to hear from a very knowledgeable local guide about the history, sociology and politics of not only the tea estate but Munnar itself. Pradeep is energetic and friendly.

Munnar Travel Guide

The Indian state of Kerala has the town of Munnar in the Western Ghats mountain range. A hill station that served as a former retreat for the aristocracy of the British Raj, it is surrounded by undulating hills that are peppered with tea plantations that date back to the late 19th century. Lakkam Waterfalls, trekking routes, and the 2,695m-tall Anamudi Peak can all be found in Eravikulam National Park, which is also the home of the critically endangered Nilgiri tahr.

Elderly Iranians Feel At Home At Noor Active Living in Santa Clara

By Julie Ershadi

Mahin Afkhami worked for an affiliate of Iran’s information and tourism ministry in the 1970s when the Revolution broke out. She and her husband, who had four children studying at universities in the U.S., found themselves unable to send them money to apply for green cards. The couple traveled west to sort out the status of their children’s visas, in what they believed would be a brief trip. They ended up leaving behind everything they had in Iran: their belongings, their wealth, and life as they knew it.

That was 38 years ago. Today, like the hundreds of thousands of Iranians who lived through the revolution and moved abroad, Afkhami speaks proudly of the efforts she made to rebuild her life and ensure her children’s success. Yet as she has advanced in years, she has made the decision to move to an assisted living facility rather than rely on her offspring.

Unlike many elders in the Iranian expatriate community who live with their adult children, Afkhami – who shies away from disclosing her age – is a resident of Noor Active Living , an assisted living facility located in Santa Clara , California. The idea behind Noor is to provide an environment that would be familiar to an Iranian population of patients, who often feel isolated receiving care outside of their home country and away from their families.

“My children want me to go and live with them, but I refuse,” she says in a recent afternoon. “I would be interrupting their lives. They come to visit me and I go over there, but I’d rather have my privacy and live here.”

Noor Active Living was founded with the purchase by a group of philanthropists of an existing assisted living center in need of major renovations in 2009. The idea was to create a place for elderly Iranians in the United States, based on the Kahrizak Charity Foundation , a nonprofit that provides care and a living environment for the elderly and handicapped in Iran.

The driving force at Noor is its executive director, Nazila Safari, a medical doctor in the U.S.  and Iran. Like virtually all of the residents and staff at Noor, Safari is an Iranian immigrant who had to start over in the United States.

Inside the Noor facility, the walls are decorated with calligraphy and traditional paintings. A small study contains a library of books in Persian , including War and Peace in translation, a book on Afghan cuisine , history books, and poetry. On all the floors are authentic Persian rugs , donated by one of the center’s patrons.

In the dining hall, the Iranian-born chef prepares a lunch of ghormeh sabzi (a herb-based stew) for the 12 residents and staff members. Even ta’arof , the Iranian form of etiquette, is present, as when the site manager invites a visiting reporter to stay for lunch.

Outside is a patio lined with persimmon trees and palm fronds. There, accompanied by three caretakers and another resident, Afkhami tells her story of leaving Iran and coming to the United States. She produces an issue of Kayhan International , dated June 3, 1976. Page 3 features her promotion to deputy director for technical and planning affairs at the Tourism Facilities Compan  of Iran.

The group is seated at a patio table spread with Iranian tea, a box of gaz nougat  (candy) fresh from Esfahan , and other traditional snacks. Everyone exchanges knowing glances and nods somberly as Afkhami describes how hard it was to rebuild her and her family’s lives from the ground up.

“I came here with just one small suitcase of things for myself because I didn’t have plans to stay,” she says. “But things got worse. Me and my husband were both in good positions over there, so we would’ve been killed. We never went back.”

“The children were working, going to school, and had a lot of expenses,” she recalled. “It was just the six of us working. Hard.”

Noor’s executive director Safari qualified as a doctor in Iran. But when she came to the United States 22 years ago, her degree was not recognized, and she had to attend U.S. medical school to continue her practice. While in school, she took a job as a live-in nurse with an elderly couple.

“At that time, I didn’t have anybody here,” she says. “So they became my parents, my grandparents, my whole family.”

Alone in a foreign country, she developed a close bond with the family that would change the course of her life.

“Their kids moved out,” she recalls. “I got married and took the elderly woman with me until I could find a place to put her. I noticed all of these assisted living places. I was looking for which one would give her as much love and support as I was giving her.”

It was during her search for a care facility that Safari discovered a pressing situation: here and there, solitary elderly Iranians living in facilities where they related to no one. “There would be one or two Iranians. When they would see me, they would say, ‘Oh my God, you speak Farsi ! Nobody understands me here, I don’t like the food – this is not good!’ It was bothering me,” she says.

Safari started going to assisted living homes in the little free time she had between work and medical school. She wanted to spend time with these elderly Iranians who had been alone up until then. She would sit with them at the care facilities where they lived, translate their words when necessary for the nurses, and spend time with them when their children weren’t available.

As she became more deeply involved in the field of elderly care, Safari helped to open a Sunrise Senior Living branch in Sunnyvale , California, a town adjacent to Santa Clara. According to the company’s website, Sunrise operates internationally with 315 facilities in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom .

Opening the Sunnyvale branch got Safari noticed by a group of directors hoping to start their own assisted living community, a not-for-profit facility created with the needs of elderly Iranians in mind. They asked her to help open Noor in 2009, and she agreed. She supervised renovations on the building that the group had acquired, but declined to run the facility, asking them instead to find someone else as she pursued her own professional activities.

After the completion of renovations in 2011, the facility sat unused for two years while the board searched for a substitute for Safari. They approached her again, this time with success. Safari has been director of Noor Active Living since 2013.

As a not-for-profit organization, Noor relies on donations from board members and community groups, as well as the fees charged to its residents. These funds cover expenses, and do not earn a profit for Safari and her staff, which is composed almost entirely of recent Iranian immigrants. The overarching aim, they say, is the respect, comfort and longevity of their patients, who have traveled so far and, in many cases, given up a great deal in the face of political turmoil in Iran.

“They had their independence, their house, their job, their respect in Iran,” Safari says. “They were looking forward to retiring there, going to the supermarket and speaking their own language, negotiating all of that. All of a sudden, they’re an immigrant, they’re brought to a new place where they can’t go anywhere or even speak the language.”

Chewing on gaz and sipping Iranian tea, Noor’s staff members echo the same sentiment that Safari described: what they do is more than a job – it is the love and care of the elderly members of their community, who are living thousands of miles away from the place they all call home. Afkhami, for her part, speaks warmly of the life she lives at Noor.

“We had everything over there,” she says, remembering her life in Iran before the revolution. “Now, this is the best place I could be. It is home.”

15 Things to Do in Santa Clara (CA)

Santa Clara is a city of nearly 125,000 residents that’s located in Santa Clara County, about 75 kilometers south of San Francisco .

The city was founded more than 200 years ago as a Spanish Mission. Now, it’s most well-known for its booming tech industry that’s commonly referred to around the world as Silicon Valley.

Though it’s common knowledge to most football fans, it’s a surprise to many to discover that the relatively small city is also the home of the National Football League’s San Francisco 49ers.

Visitors to Santa Clara have abundant activity options at their fingertips without venturing outside city limits, so staying engaged and entertained shouldn’t be an issue.

1. Levi’s Stadium

With a capacity of nearly 70,000, Levi’s Stadium on Marie P. DeBartolo Way in Santa Clara is one of the country’s premier professional football stadiums.

The 49ers play their home games here, and during the off-season, the stadium hosts a variety of annual events, including concerts featuring big names in the music industry.

Taking a family to a football game isn’t the least expensive activity option in the area, but for those who’ve never taken in a pro game, it’s an exhilarating experience that may be worth the cost.

Guided tours are also regularly available, and the bars and restaurants around the stadium are fun to visit year-round.

2. Ulistac Natural Area

Despite its large population and the overall hustle and bustle, the Bay Area features plenty of urban parks and natural areas that are convenient options for those interested in enjoying the great outdoors.

The Ulistac Natural Area is located on Lick Mill Road in Santa Clara. It is comprised of more than 40 acres that include a variety of distinct environments.

The natural area straddles the Guadalupe River and is home to an array of plants and animals that are well-suited to its riparian habitat.

A particularly popular attraction for bird watchers, it features a number of well-marked nature trails dotted with interpretive signs.

3. Santa Clara Art & Wine Festival

Californians take their art and wine seriously, and there’s no better way to combine the two than by visiting the Santa Clara Art & Wine Festival.

The event is held in the city’s Central Park and features nearly 200 vendors from across the country selling fine art and crafts, gourmet food, and a vast selection of California’s best wines.

Proceeds are donated to worthwhile causes that benefit residents in need. It all takes place in the early fall when the central California weather is perfect for outdoor activities.

Other highlights include live entertainment and lots of art-related activities for kids.

4. The de Saisset Museum

Though he’s not exactly a household name for those who don’t typically travel in West Coast art circles, Ernest de Saisset was one of the Bay Area’s most prominent artists in the 19th century.

Saisset was a French immigrant who enrolled in Santa Clara University and studied painting as a young man.

The museum that now bears his name is located on the university’s campus. It includes a collection of more than 100 of his most impressive works.

It’s as much a historical attraction as it is an art one, and it also has other works from European and American artists dating back hundreds of years.

5. Intel Museum

Intel is one of the titans of the tech world. Over the years, it has been responsible for some of the most significant technological leaps forward in computer hardware.

The Intel Museum is located on the campus of the company’s world headquarters in Santa Clara, and it’s regularly open to the public.

Even for those who don’t fall into the tech-savvy category, it’s a fascinating place that’s definitely worth an hour or two of time.

Though it may sound dry to technophobes, it’s packed with interactive exhibits for visitors of all ages, so it’s great for kids with short attention spans too.

6. Santa Clara Farmers’ Market

There’s really no better way to rub elbows with locals, enjoy pleasant weather, and have access to tons of great products you won’t find elsewhere than by visiting a farmers’ market.

The Santa Clara Farmers’ Market is open year-round and features a little bit of everything – from seasonal produce and fresh baked goods to health and body products and prepared food items.

Held on Jackson Street near the downtown area, it’s common to find different items each time you go.

Spending a few bucks is a great way to support local farmers and entrepreneurs, and don’t be shy about asking them for suggestions for things to see and do while in town.

7. California’s Great America

There’s no shortage of theme parks in the Golden State, but there’s one clear choice for those visiting Santa Clara.

California’s Great America is located on Great America Parkway just outside of town. It features tons of rides, dining options, kid’s activities, and a water park that’s a huge draw during the hot summer months.

Though Great America can really draw a crowd during peak times when kids are enjoying their summer vacations, previous guests have noted that wait times for rides weren’t overly long.

Many families choose to spend an entire day on-site to avoid wasting valuable recreational time in the car.

8. Mission Santa Clara

Mission Santa Clara is one of the city’s premier historic sites, and it’s now conveniently located on the campus of Santa Clara University.

The mission was established by Franciscans in the 1770s to spread Christianity to the area’s Native American population.

Sadly, things didn’t go according to plan; due to several natural disasters, the mission was forced to move from its original site to where it is now.

Over the years, it was also run by the Jesuits. Though it’s no longer functioning in its original role, it now doubles as a museum and chapel that are open to visitors.

9. The Triton Museum of Art

Though guests tend to visit the Triton Museum of Art for the works in its collection, its stunning contemporary architecture usually makes a big impression as well.

The museum’s collection includes works from all over the country, but its emphasis is on pieces created by Bay Area artists using local people and scenery as inspiration.

The grounds also include a sprawling outdoor sculpture garden spread over nearly seven acres, and a home from the mid-1860s that’s among the most well-preserved examples of historic American architecture in the area.

The museum is located on Warburton Avenue, and most visitors spend a few hours on-site.

10. Santa Clara Players

The Santa Clara Players traces its roots all the way back to the early ‘60s, when a group of local performers began putting on small shows for the community.

Now nearly seven decades later, they’re still going strong. Their annual performances run the gamut from dramatic theater and mystery to satire and humor.

The players are part of a community theater group staffed by talented volunteers dedicated to providing high-quality, family-friendly entertainment at a reasonable cost.

They’re located on Don Avenue in Santa Clara and offer lots of volunteer opportunities for budding actors and stagehands.

11. Central Park

Featuring lots of wide-open spaces and massive swimming and community rec centers, Santa Clara’s Central Park is a go-to destination for activity minded visitors looking to make the most of their limited vacation time without traveling to more distant attractions.

The park is centrally located on Keily Boulevard, has ample parking, and features lots of outdoor amenities and recreational activity options.

From tennis and basketball to softball, lawn bowling, and a big playground, there’s really no excuse for getting bored while on-site. For those looking to spend a relaxing afternoon, there are a lake, built-in BBQs, and public restrooms.

12. The 49ers Museum

Even for those who won’t be in Santa Clara during the regular season, the 49ers stadium and museum are fun attractions worth visiting for sports-minded visitors.

The museum is located inside Levi’s Stadium and features nearly a dozen distinct galleries that are open to the public year-round.

It’s a fun and educational experience for visitors of all ages. In addition to football, its exhibits touch on science, technology, and art in a way that engages and entertains young and old minds alike.

Most guests check out the introductory video in the visitor’s center before showing themselves through the impressive collection of trophies, balls, and Super Bowl memorabilia on display.

13. The Santa Clara Fire Museum

The Santa Clara Fire Department’s roots run all the way back to the 1850s when it was founded.

The museum is now located on Walsh Avenue in an unused training center behind the city’s new fire station.

It sports an impressive collection of equipment and historical memorabilia that give visitors unique insights into the lives of fire and rescue personnel in years past.

The museum’s highlights include a fully restored Model-T fire truck that served for two decades, beginning in the 1920s.

The knowledgeable local volunteer staff also offer regular programs geared at educating the public about fire safety and prevention issues.

14. Edward Peterman Museum of Railroad History

The Edward Peterman Museum of Railroad History is run by a local historical society. It is housed in the depot of a now-defunct railroad on Railroad Avenue in Santa Clara.

Like many local historical attractions, the museum is staffed by local volunteers who love answering questions and showing first-time visitors around.

The museum’s exhibits include a variety of railroad equipment and memorabilia, including signals, safety equipment, and historical photographs dating back over 100 years.

The museum is regularly open to the public. It maintains an extensive library of books relating to railroad development and local history as well.

15. Voyager Coffee

Though it has only been around since 2016, Voyager Coffee’s owner and staff are dedicated to the noble pursuit of making their customers happy.

They do this largely by providing world-class coffee, but also by offering a comfortable space in which guests have opportunities to build relationships with like-minded customers.

Many of their coffees sport internationally influenced flavors, and they’re often infused with things like orange essence and cherry blossom water.

Don’t worry if you prefer your coffee straight-up, because they’ve got more traditional brews as well.

They offer fresh pastry and baked goods, tea, and other non-coffee drinks too.
