A cool mist parts as the van climbs away from Munnar town and the scent of crushed tea leaves fills the air — the hills seem to breathe. Over five hours the route threads through manicured tea gardens, the reflective bowl of Madupetty Dam, the call-and-response of Echo Point, and the higher vantage at Top Station where cloud banks press against the ridgeline.
