Munnar Travel Forum

Hi,

We are planning for in Munnar in September first week.Is this the best time to visit?what are the famous places?we are planning for oneweek trip from Bangalore.

Hi,

I am from Kerala, working in Bangalore.
Yes, September is the best time to visit Kerala.
In one week you can cover Munnar, Thekkady and Aleppey the three most frequented places by tourists. Allowing a day for travel (to and fro), you can start from Cochin (One day), then go to Munnar (2 days), Thekkady (1 day) Aleppey (2 days) and back to Bangalore via Cochin.
Well, there is an off-beaten path, if you are going via Mysore. 1-2 days in Wynad if you love Trekking, Wildlife and tropical forests.
The capital Trivandrum also offers much to see, like beaches, palaces and all if you can compromise on any one location mentioned earlier.
Visiting during last week of August or first week of September is a bonus to tourists since we celebrate our National fesstival Onam in that week. The whole of Kerala vibrates with celebrations (Especially if you happen to be in Trivandrum where the Kerala government organises a 10 day celebration starting from the last week of August). You can also watch the world famous snake boat race in the backwaters of Aleppey during that time.
Make sure that you book your journey tickets in advance (if you are opting for buses or trains), because Keralites are so desperate in visiting their land during Onam, making it difficult to get the tickets. I am not an exception:)

It will be little bit rainy season but good time to visit munnar. will be chilly, i visited munnar last september and it was wonderful ( i am a self confessed lover of kerala rains :) ). I suggest you to go ahead with the plan... for hotels do a search with "Munnar" in http://www.travelgoogy.com/ , you will get lot of options......

Hello,

hmm.. i am not very sure of the climate in munnar at that time.I had been there last year in july and we were lucky that it never rained when we were there.

The places we visited were-

Tea museum - gives u the history of tea plantation
Devikulam - 17kms from munnar town, a temple at the top of a hill
Mattupetty Dam - 20kms from Munnar town( the indo-swiss live stock project)
Kundla lake and dam - famous for golf course( boating is also allowed here)
Lock Heart Gap - Known for adventure tourism and trekking
Echo Point - known Natural echo phenomenon of the place( i loved this place)

There are others places that we were not able to visit. Chinar Wildlife sanctury,Roaring waterfalls,bloosom park etc.

I am sure you will be able to enjoy your trip to munnar.Have very nice stay there.

Best Regards
