Walk, amble, saunter, roam. At the most, cycle. There is nothing much to do in Munnar, but walking is by far highly rewarding and extremely relaxing. The sight of the rolling tea, pepper, coffee and cardamom estates is invigorating.
You can visit the Christ's Church, a permanent fixture in all of India's 'hill stations', complete with thick stone walls and stained glass furniture. But the churches are charming nevertheless, evoking the past, and this one is no different. The caretaker will willingly show you around.
Do go to the Eravikulam National Park to spot some beautiful flora and fauna, including the Tahr, an endangered species of mountain goats, as well as langur monkeys and sambars. A jeep tour will take you to the Thattekkad Bird sanctuary full of scintillating birds and their calls, and give you a chance to go atop Mount Anamudi itself. Needless to say that the views are awe inspiring.
