Munnar Kab Jaayein?

• September–March — Best time. Thanda mausam (10–25°C), saaf aasmaan, green tea gardens
• December–January — Sabse thanda. Raat ko 5°C tak gir jaata hai. Jacket zaroor le jaao
• April–May — Garmi hai but plains se toh theek hai. Domestic tourists ki bheed hoti hai
• June–August — Monsoon. Bahut green hota hai but baarish heavy, landslide ka risk, Eravikulam band rehta hai

Munnar Mein Khaana

Kerala ka khaana North India se bahut alag hai. But Munnar mein North Indian restaurants bhi hain:

• Kerala Meals — Rice, sambar, rasam, avial kele ke patte pe. Ek baar try zaroor karo
• Appam aur Stew — Rice pancake with coconut milk sabzi. Breakfast mein must try
• Puttu aur Kadala Curry — Steamed rice cylinders with chole
• Parotta — Flaky paratha jaisa, curry ke saath
• Chai — Munnar ki fresh chai peena mat bhoolna. Yahan ki chai alag level hai

Vegetarian khaana har jagah milta hai. Non-veg bhi available hai — Kerala fish curry famous hai.

Munnar Travel Tips

• Jacket le jaao — Raat ko sach mein thand hoti hai, chahe summer mein jaao
• Cab book karo, self-drive mat karo — Ghat road pe 40+ hairpin bends hain. Local driver jo daily yeh road chalata hai, woh best hai
• Subah jaldi niklo — Kochi se 7–8 AM tak niklo taaki daylight mein ghat section cross ho
• Motion sickness — Ghat road winding hai. Agar car sickness hoti hai toh dawai le jaao aur heavy khaana mat khaao climb se pehle
• Cash rakhlo — Chhoti dukaan aur entry counters pe card nahi chalta
• Petrol Adimali mein bharwa lo — Munnar se pehle last reliable petrol pump Adimali mein hai
