Things to do in Munnar, Kerala: The Best Gardens

August 22, 2021 Madelene Haan

Sprawling tea plantations surround the serene hills of Munnar, which attract adventure travelers hungry for paragliding, treks to Anaimudi (South India's highest peak) and hikes originating at the confluence of three mountain streams. The stone Christ Church, built by the British in 1910, is adorned with renowned works of stained glass, and Eravikulam National Park, about 10 miles away, is home to equally colorful wildlife, including the endangered Nilgiri Tahr (ibex), ruddy mongoose and 120 bird species.

I really enjoyed my tour of the garden where the guide let us guess what the spice was by tasting/smelling the leaves. The shop sold a variety of reasonably priced products that are nice to bring home. Unusual bird species in the gardens as well.
