Things to Keep in Mind

30

Things to Carry

The things you should be carrying to Munnar will thoroughly depend on the kind of travel you are looking to make. If you are driving your own vehicle, the requirements would differ than if you were looking to take public transport. Similarly, the place you choose to stay will affect a lot on the things you will need to carry along.

Overall, here are some things that you must be throwing into your backpack:

  1. Light jackets / sweater depending on the month you are traveling. If you are visiting Yercaud during the winters (between November and February, make sure you have carried warm clothing)

  2. If possible, carry a binocular – there are many amazing birds that you want to get a closer look at.

  3. Camping in Munnar requires various equipment if you are looking to pitch your tent outside and sleep under the stars.

  4. Raincoats, if you are traveling during the monsoons. The rains in the hill station can always take you by surprise. Wayanad is best enjoyed after the monsoons but if you want the waterfalls to be the highlight of the trip, be ready to get wet.

  5. Good pair of trekking boots, as you cannot miss out on the opportunity

  6. Preventive medicines

  7. Flashlights and mosquito repellants, if you are in the habit of exploring in the dark. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the forests.

  8. Camera – you won’t forget it of course!

Travel Tips for Munnar Trip from Bangalore

  1. Start late Friday evening such that you reach one of the several sops by morning. This trip is all about enjoying the journey and not the destination. Don’t miss out on opportunities or hurry!

  2. Research for the best Bangalore to Munnar package to have a comfortable and hassle free holiday.

  3. Be ready to rent cabs if you are not driving your own vehicle. The distances between popular spots are quite huge.

  4. It is best to move around Munnar on foot or perhaps a bicycle. You can rent one from your place of stay.

  5. Start early, wherever you plan to go, as the evening dawns pretty fast in Munnar.

  6. Be careful when driving the car around the ghats – the hairpin bends can be fatal and have caused accidents in the past.

  7. Trek only if you are with a lively group of friends. Otherwise, the offerings might easily bore you.

  8. Book a nice hotel as food and stay will be the highlight of your trip. Sipping coffee with a view is the best things in Munnary.

  9. Meet and talk to the locals if you have an interest in history.

  10. Be ready for a lot of trekking.

  11. Take extra clothes as you cannot miss taking a dip in the waterfall pools that have assimilated everywhere.

Lastly, enjoy your stay at Munnar. Have fun and be ready for Bangalore again! You will certainly look forward to going back.

It Was an Awesome Trip To Munnar , Pros: Traveling On Month Of July (monsoon Season) Make The Place More Special . The Place Where The Camping Held Has Given Stunning Panoramic View Of The Western Ghats and the Valley of Theni. On Way To Campsite You Can Also have A Chance To Encounter With Wild Animals Which is also an Thrilling Experince. The Dinner and Breakfast Which Provided By the Tour Company Was Quiet Decent. Memorable Moments And FunFilled Trip Is Guarantee . Cons : Food are Really Expensive on Outside Of The Campiste Residency If You Are Planning A Other Activities Than Camping Beware Of The Activities You Pick bcoz In Some Places( Example :Elephant Safari,Etc..) They Charge You More Than It Deserve Since I Had Private Tour I Did Not Have Problem With Restroom Facilities (because Campsite Was Near The Building Of The Tour Company ) I havn't Seen Any Restroom On The Places Of Group Tour Camp So Please Enquire Before The Begging Of Your Camping. --- At Last One Line Decrption --- " Nature Always Wears The Colors Of The Spirits " Live In The Moments In Munnar Have A Good Life :)

Puneeth Kumar Forest Camping in Munnar

"Simply Amazing. If you love adventures , this is a must try. There's Jeep safari, off-roading through the tea estates, Fog covering the way when you reach the top, Mesmerizing view, Quechua Tents, Tasty food, Campfire, 2 km trek to the top of the mountain and last but definitely not the least breathtaking sunrise and feel of heaven on the top. The team organizing this is super helpful and super friendly. Had some difficulties contacting the vendor in the beginning but once we met things went super smooth and the team at the top (Oscar and team) definitely deserves an applause.\nP.S.: Don't miss the Sunrise from the top of the mountain for which one has to trek for 2KMS.

Arun is really a gem of a person. He is very informative, really kind and soft spoken. He shared knowledge about tea plantation and Munnar history too. Arun is also a good photographer and he captures amazing shots. The view is lovely as fog passes by. Also the trek is amazing given the distance and route. Arun also managed to provide a light snack and lunch on our way and we spent a fantastic time. The seven hills Lakshmi trek is really beautiful way to look at beauty of Munnar. Highly recommended.

The trip to Kerala was so good, I went to Kerala with my friends and we enjoyed a lot there. We explored 2 beautiful cities of Kerala- Kochi, and Munnar. We went to so many places and the waterfalls in Munnar was beautiful and mesmerizing. The stays were comfortable and the food was also tasty. The cab facility was also good.
Excellent
The trip to Munnar was an amazing experience we had a lot of fun during the trip. The city is so beautiful and calm. The waterfalls and tea, coffee plantations make it more charming. It was fun bathing in waterfalls and visiting the Eravikulam National Park, We even enjoyed playing and feeding the elephants. It was a wonderful trip!!!
