Munnar in South India is located in the Western Ghats in the Eastern parts of Central Kerala and an adjoining part of Tamilnadu. One of the most popular hill stations in India, Munnar is situated at the confluence of three mountain streams - Mudrapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala. The former, mainly in Devikulam Taluk of Idukki district, Kerala is usually known as the Kanan Devan hills or the High Ranges.

Christ ChurchConsecrated in AD 1910, Christ Church was built mainly for the managers and employees of the tea estates. The English service was terminated in the year AD 1981. Now service is held in Tamil and Malayalam languages every Sundays. During Christmas the celebrations conducted by the Church are a great attraction.

Devikulam Lake Just a few kilometres from the main town area it is the Devikulam Lake. The lake is an anglers paradise and the ideal spot for some peaceful, relaxing moments. In the middle of the lake is a quaint little island (but before you venture to explore it you will have to take permission from the concerned authorities).

Tea Gardens A visit to the tea gardens is highly recommended if you have ever wondered what actually goes behind the pleasure of your morning cuppa. Because here you can witness the entire process of tea manufacturing, from the plucking of tea leaves by nimble fingered workers, to the drying, processing, cutting, sealing and packing of the final product.
