Where the hills wear green velvet
At 1,600 metres the air turns crisp and sweet, and the world goes impossibly green. Munnar's tea estates spill over every contour like rumpled velvet, stitched with silver waterfalls and wrapped each morning in a soft blanket of mist. Sip estate-fresh tea on a misty verandah, trek to viewpoints where the clouds sit below you, and keep an eye out for the rare Nilgiri tahr on the high slopes. This is Kerala's great exhale — cool, unhurried and ridiculously photogenic.
