My Travel to Munnar and Munnar Sightseeing after the Flood (On August 31, 2018)<\/p>\n

Even though this post has been written to show the actual scenario of Munnar after flood, reading through this blog would give you an exact picture of what Munnar has to offer. For this post I have travelled through all the major sightseeing spots of Munnar and has been mentioned here.<\/p>\n

A lot of apprehensions have been doing the rounds about the current situation in Munnar and its accessibility for tourists to have good time. Many guests asked about the same but I could not give them a proper reply. This finally led us to travel to Munnar after the flood and understand its current situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, on 31st August my wife Sreedevi and I traveled to Munnar from Cochin and visited all the sightseeing places that a guest is normally taken to.<\/p>\n

A read through of the details below will give you an actual picture of this beauty queen.<\/h2>\n

In short:<\/p>\n

We started at 7 am from Aluva to Munnar through Adimaly, and visited all the major sightseeing spots. The road to Munnar is good for travel with few repairs being done here and there. There are places where landslides happened and the mud is partially removed for vehicles to travel. All the waterfalls still retain their original beauty. Once we reach Munnar, all sightseeing spots are accessible, except Rajamala which is expected to open shortly as the bridge towards this spot is under repair.<\/p>\n

The Tea Museum, Mattuppetty Dam, Kundale Dam, etc.\u00a0<\/span>are open and we travelled up to Top Station and then to Vattavada which is 8km from Top Station. We could witness few Neelakurinji blooms on the way. It is heard from reliable sources that Neelakurinji started blooming at Rajamala. Roads to most of the hotels are accessible, but few are under repair and expected to be ready by September 10th, according to the locals.\u00a0Munnar is still in its beauty with tea plantations welcoming us in all its glory.<\/p>\n

Below is what we did today along with the pictures taken on 31st August 2018.<\/p>\n

The flood that happened in Kerala<\/a> is a reality. But it cannot take away the beauty of our land, it cannot take our spirit and enthusiasm. The people of Kerala are back with their energy and hospitality to welcome our guests who are waiting to visit this land. There had been a mass cleaning at Munnar for 3 days, coordinated by 1000 volunteers from across the state to bring back our queen’s beauty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
