Great Escapes Resorts Munnar

... not because of looks. Not only that, the menu was self professed “Ridiculously Cheap”. Eggs and Poori and toast (only a pound each for all this)- and with a full stomach we set off in the white mist that surrounded us, dressed up for Armageddon nice and warm and dry in our waterproofs and boots towards a waterfalls. It was not too far, but we took a wrong turning and ended up at a viewpoint, where we had a beautiful, really, the most striking view you could probably have ...

We took the local KRSTDC state bus to Munnar, a four and a half hour journey in a 50 year old bus that comes with air-conditioning (no windows), luxury seats (blue, *************e vinyl, discoloured to grimy brown because of the years of use), private seating (get your place if you can), careful driver (will race any other bus to prove he is the fastest), tranquil (exhaust noise that blasts away the Richter scale) and open views (if you look through the jail bars). In fact it ...

... Buses and Taxis are available from Madurai. Madurai is also the closest airport. The other nearest airport is Coimbatore, which is 175 KM away. From Mumbai there is no direct flight to Madurai, but there are direct flights to Coimbatore. Thus it is cheaper to fly to Coimbatore. I flew to Coimbatore and took a taxi from there.<br> <br>If you are travelling my train then the nearest station is Kodai Road which is 80 KM away.<br> <br>The Kodaikanal hill station ...

... the tea was not that good but the hikes and views were epic. I actually reminded me of the tea plantations I hiked in Malaysia. Anyone that can tell me what entry number that was gets a cookie! I took the bus to Munnar with Roi and Liora (Israeli couple I met in the Ashram) Everyone knows everyone in Israel and it turned out that Roi knew an ...

... which we savour. The place is almost tourist free and we enjoy a 5.30am trek up a mountainside and take in sweeping views across the valleys, over tea estates and East into Tamil Nadu, the next state. Craggy peaks, beautiful egg yolk sunrise and mist slowly clearing to reveal green forest canopies. Kites soar silently above our heads and we realise that since the Himalayas this is the first time we've felt on our own in any sense such is the density of India's population.

... bag of salt and sprinkle it on our shoes and you you see the little freaks all curl up and fall off. The forest was cool. Loads of birds flying around and animals marks everywhere...various footprints and poo along the path usually down to the water. Some of the trees would have smooth parts coz of the elephants scratching themselves on the trees...the lower down ones were from the babys. After 1 hour all we had seen was a weird looking squirrel and huge ants ...

... walking and exploring, we would just choose one road and see where we ended up. The weather improved on our 3rd day. Blue cloudless skies and warm not boiling hot sun. Just perfect. We visited some local gardens called Blosom Park. The locals really take pride in the growing of flowers here. Most of ...

We spend two days here and go to the Tea Museum to see how tea is actually made, drive up to a dam as well as the Top Point, which is on the border between Kerala and Tamil Nadu - all with amazing views. The weather is brilliant ...

... stuff. Kerry ordered aloo ghobi for us to share and basically off you go shovelling the stuff in liberal handfuls with your fingers, brilliant! When you finished you just fold the leaf in half and the waiter pops it in the bin. The food was delicious and along with water and masala tea came to about two quid for the both of us. Can't say ne fairer than that. So we all left the joint and wandered down to the road to grab a rickshaw. Jumped ...
