Munnar’s green terraces, misty mornings and dramatic valleys make it a jewel of South India. A jeep safari here winds through tea plantations, pine forests and viewpoints that open into panoramic valleys. Local drivers often know hidden trails and viewpoints — ask for sunrise trips to catch the valley in golden light. For best clarity and cooler temperatures, plan early-morning departures.
Practical tips: carry layered clothing for early starts, water and a compact camera. Roads can be narrow and sometimes dusty; a 4×4 jeep makes the route comfortable and enjoyable.
