If you have never seen tea plantations and live in the hot tropical zone, I can imagine Munnar feels like paradise. If you have worked as a tea picker in the Munnar region all your life and live in a simple shack struggling to keep dry during the monsoon rains, your perpsective might be very different.
I wonder how the landscape looked like before the tea estates were established. Now wildlife has been pushed back to the very small wild margins of the plantations high in the hills. The original ecosystems were severely damaged. Perhaps time to at least give some of the land back. The general trend however is the other way. I observed many slopes being prepared for further extentions of the tea 'gardens'.

Worth the 250 rupees for foreigners to visit. The video explained the history of tea production in Munnar and modern production and how the tea companies support their workers with education, housing and jobs.

The tea gardens in Munnar are simply mesmerising, whether you wish to walk around them or use them as background props for clicks.

We stayed in Munnar and from the moment we arrived, we were surrounding by flowing green hills, tea gardens. There are many lookout and spots to stop for photos, but drivers need to be careful of the winding roads, especially during rain. We saw too many car and bike accidents. There are limited places to see tea being produced and even fewer to do a proper tea tasting. The scenery made up for that and being able to walk between old tea bushes, some with new growth, flowers and even seeds. It is a magical experience.

We had a very informed guide who explained everything. We visited the tea factory and the gardens. We had a delicious masala tea at the factory and learned about all of the processes. Afterwards, we were about to go to the gift shop for fabulous gifts of tea for friends and family. We watched workers plucking the tea leaves and wandered among the plants. Beautiful experience.

The tea estates in Munnar are very beautiful and well maintained and it is a pleasure to watch them. Fortunately I could see it from the balcony of my hotel room.

As you drive around Munnar, you just cannot miss the expanse of the tea plantations from the roadside to the top of the mountains. From a distance it’s just incredible and the views are fantastic like a green velvet carpet. Tea is what makes Munnar, I guess.

There are lot. You can plan according to days you have planned to spend in Kerala. becuase of traveling in between. Few I can say are apart from Munnar, there is few famous famous beaches and a historical temple and all in Trivandrum, you can go for house bout (ride or stayback in it), for that you have to each Alappy, dams at Idukki and palakkad, for water falls , island view etc on higher place apart from Munnar is wayanad. There Many. And should try the local foods. Easy way is you can google each district wise , make a plan according to it. Don’t waste by traveling lot , make the visit worth. So schedule the trip first. All the best

Any particular tea plantation or garden to visit which can't be missed ? Also I want to experience how tea gets made the whole process and even get to taste different teas. Please suggest visiting Munnar in another 2 weeks.

Tata Tea Factory and Madupetty Tea Factory are famous. Must Visit Tata Tea Factory to understand and watch the whole process of tea. The guide at Tata Tea factory will tell you everything. They charge Rs 100 as entry fee. All the tea gardens are beautiful

Yes, This attraction may be given a five star rating depending on the mentality and nature love of a visitor. In fact, tea gardens of Munnar are not so beautiful as those falling on the way from Munnar to Thekaddy. The tea gardens enroute to Thekaddy can find no words of appreciation

Hi, As Kinjal mentioned above.. Munnar is full of tea gardens and to do the trek you need to go in the evening with the travel guide of your resort.. We stayed in Parraket and the guy who took us for tea garden trek was awesome.. he shared the insights about how they planned in munnar et all..

Hi,
Tea garden is not a one place in Munnar. There are several tea estates in Munnar. Tea gardens are everywhere along the road side in Munnar area. Many of them are properly fenced and going inside is not allowed. But there are many places where you can go inside the tea garden, enjoy the scenic view and click beautiful snaps. They are always open.
Hope this will help.
