We left early in the morning and after an almost 90min drive reached Top Station. The views from the top are nice without being too overwhelming. Get there early before the tour busses arrive and it gets really crowded.
If you are on a short visit to Munnar, you can skip this long drive.
There are great views all around Munnar

It is a place if you like views blocked by crowd. It is just a point from where you can see views.
The way to Top Station is definitely better than the destination.

Has a good view, could do with a bit of more maintenance and cleanliness though. Toilet available near car parking on chargeable basis! See if you can plan when fog is not expected, else the entire scenery is not visible as you are surrounded by fog.

The route to top station is scenic and is worth it. Top station per say is average. The descent down to top station is a short way by foot. However the gravel is very slippery and is not recommended for travelling with infants and elderly

One of the most beautiful place in Munnar, foggy climate and it will chill your mind definitely. You should feel the place and cannot be expressed in words.

This is a view point. Roads are quite narrow here.Parking would be a bit difficult especially on crowded days. When we visited there was bunch of people extorting money in the name of donation to a temple.They were demanding for 50 Rs. When we refused to pay, they got violent. I saw most people paying to them. They do claim that land belongs to temple and hence this is parking charge.This is a lie as the land belongs to Government.I enquired to local shop keepers and they told me its an illegal collection of money not authorised by the temple .They were seen wearing an yellow outfit.There is no mobile connectivity here.Please try not to pay money and avoid encouraging these practices.
As you walk forward you will come upon a pay gate where you need to pay 20 Rs to proceed forward.Strange given that, they are not doing any maintenence or any type of services. This area is under Government of Tamil Nadu. View from the point is breathtaking but same can be experienced from many other locations. If you do love to trek, it could be an experience going down and coming up.

Top station itself is not that much impressive but the route is beautiful.
So enjoy the route to reach the top station , once there you will not find much to do.
From Munnar town to Top station and coming back is half day trip,so plan accordingly

Is there any public transport available at top station, like bus or auto to get back to munnar town?

Not too sure of buses or public transport. Never saw one.
Suggest you hire a car to and fro from Munnar to top station and back.
Could we explore top station at any time...

Yes anytime you can explore anytime, but if you come the peak season, you might feel the difference of visiting these places on off season and on season.

Top Station is closely visible from Munnar and we went to this place from Munnar. Since you are visiting Kodaikanal, Trip Advisor forum for Kodaikanal will give you best results.

No, actually camping and trekking at this location has a penalty ,
Do I need a jeep to visit this place or I can visit by normal cab?

normal cab, you need to walk down almost a kilo meter to reach the dead end
