Munnar is my top favorite place in the whole of India. It is fantastically lush, green, clean and beautiful. This is where the tea you drink every morning grows. I've never seen a land, or rather hills like this before in my life.
 
The place is chilled and the people are super friendly and less spaced out. This is the first place I visit in Kerala, the state with the highest educational rate in the developing world - 92%. You can tell the difference right away.
 
I had my first scooter ride and I'm hooked on these things. I'm definitely getting one of those when I get back to London.
 
I also got up at 5:30am and went for a hike to the highest peak in the area - a meager 2,695m, but a steep hike, which (I hope) helped me burn out some fat. The few over the hills at sunrise was mystical.
