What Is Munnar? Kerala Emerald Tea Plantations

 This is Munnar, an idyllic hill station in the south of India. It’s famous for its luscious emerald green tea plantations and I’m going to give you a quick summary of the place. So Munnar is located close to equator in Kerala; the state where colonialism first started in India Now Kerala has a very hot and tropical climate, but the British rulers living there found a way to escape the humidity. They would travel up into the hills, 1600 metres above sea level until they reached Munnar. A group of us heard these stories of cool mountain air and decided to take the journey ourselves. On our way up, we stopped at various bus stations.
