View From The Top

All those picturesque mountains, that reach for the sky and are surrounded by swirls of mist. Someone’s got to scale them, right? Well, that someone can be you! You can sign-up for guided trekking and camping trips that last for days and take you through the high altitudes of the Western Ghats, through thick forests, plantations and villages. Don’t have too much time on hand? Then, get on a day-long natural trail where you can negotiate steep climbs, wade through grasslands and also catch a panoramic view from the top. Our recommendation: Head over to Top Station, Munnar’s highest point. Located on the Munnar-Kodaikanal Road, Top Station offers great views of the surrounding Western Ghats, and offers enough hiking opportunities.
