Route guide: Bangalore to Munnar
Munnar is about 475 km from Bangalore, a ten-hour drive that works best as a four-day trip. The Urbania runs south on NH-44 to Salem, then on to Coimbatore and Pollachi, and enters Kerala's high ranges via Udumalpet, the Chinnar wildlife sanctuary and Marayoor, known for its sandalwood forests. The last section climbs through tea estates into Munnar town. Eravikulam National Park, home to the endangered Nilgiri tahr, is about 15 km from town; visitors park at the gate and take the park's own bus up the hill. Mattupetty Dam, Echo Point, Kundala Lake and Top Station lie along one road to the east and make a full-day trip. The KDHP Tea Museum shows how tea is processed. Local running of about 150 km over the stay is included in the 1,100 km estimate.
Good stops on the way
- Krishnagiri (breakfast)
- Salem
- Coimbatore or Pollachi (lunch)
- Marayoor sandalwood forest
Best time to visit Munnar
September to May is the best time, with cool, clear days ideal for viewpoints. Eravikulam National Park usually closes for part of February and March for the tahr calving season, so check before planning. The south-west monsoon (June to August) is very wet and misty, beautiful but slow for driving.
