Overview
Situated close to the Western Ghats, Munnar and Thekkady are two jewels among Kerala’s many natural beauties. Munnar is often known as the “Kashmir of South India” and it is a place that will captivate you with its beauty. It is a place where rolling hills are covered with emerald green tea plantations that seem to extend as far as the eye can see and they are broken up by valleys filled with bright sunlight and waterfalls. There also hangs in the air around spice gardens an enchanting fragrance which adds even more charm to this delightful hill station.
As you drive along its winding roads, one can enjoy breathtaking views around every corner over undulating landscapes dotted with old colonial bungalows set amidst villages of character all displaying their unique beauty nestled between them under towering trees that line road sides like soldiers on parade ground beneath which nothing escapes notice for miles around especially when such are situated upon some high point commanding vast stretches below them like islands in ocean midst which ships could sail forever without finding landfall till doom’s day trumpet sounds last call from heaven’s gate or hell’s mouth yawns wide open–or both perhaps… Who knows?
But it is the tea gardens that will hold your attention most completely: Here they lie before us like some great green carpet laid out for our pleasure so let us lose ourselves in their silent loveliness awhile.
Thekkady, which is just a short drive from Munnar, harbors the famous Periyar Tiger Reserve. This undisturbed wilderness sanctuary is a haven for nature enthusiasts and wildlife watchers. Towering trees clad in mosses and vines reach for the sky through a carpet of green undergrowth where every bush seems to be hiding something beautiful or interesting–or both! A meandering river reflects the sunlight as it winds its lazy way between banks crowded with ferns, palms, orchids and other exotic plants that thrive in this moist climate.
Among the animals which can be seen here are elephants – some of which take a bath in one place while others peacefully graze in another nearby–gaur, sambar deer, wild boar; and occasionally even a tiger or leopard may put appearance at dawn or dusk when shadows lengthen across rugged terrain cloaked dark shades characteristic only true primeval forests untouched by ax’s edge or plowshare’s blade since time began.
There are several things you could do during your visit such as taking part in guided walks through spice plantations, boating on lake Periyar where silence reigns supreme save for occasional splash made by an otter chasing fish or perhaps listening intently while boatman relates stories about his people’s customs dating back centuries ago when they first settled in these parts.
