More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cool mountain morning opens on the slopes above Munnar: mist clings to tea bushes, a distant crow of a hill bird cuts through the quiet, and the path ahead climbs through neatly clipped rows of green. You start near Lakshmi Hills at about 4,650 ft and walk a roughly 5-mile route across gentle ridgelines to a summit near 6,400 ft, where Anamudi’s angular profile and the pale sheet of the Idukki reservoir come into view.
