The tea growing land of Munnar was not as it is today until Lord Wellesley discovered these sprawling mountain ranges. A man hunt mission lead him to these parts of the country which left Lord Wellesley spellbound. He named these ranges Kannan Devan hills as a tribute to kannan and devan, the two adivasis or indigenous people who guided him through these vistas. Britishers after numerous trial and errors found tea to be the most suitable crop for this terrain and thus was born the lush green tea-scaped mountains of Munnar.

Welcome to Munnar for a blissful stay filled with nature
