SCRIPT:
The area known as the Western Ghats is a very long mountain range that runs parallel to the western coast of the Indian peninsula, located entirely in India.
In the southern part within the state of Kerala, there is Munnar, a beautiful hill station surrounded by rolling hills, dotted with tea plantations established in the late 19th century.
It sounded like a great place to explore, so for 90 rupees, we boarded a bus in the port town of Kochi 130 km away. It took 4 and a half hours to reach whilst along winding and scenic roads.8
Eager to explore the region, we booked an early morning hike through our hotel to go up Chok-ra-mudi mountain with a great local guide, Velu.
He picked us up at 5:00 am in the pitch black and bundled us together with another couple into the back of a tiny rickshaw.
We were driving into the middle of nowhere in the dead of night, along small bumpy roads, with barely enough space to move, and a canopy dropped over the sides so we couldn’t see outside. It felt like we were taking part in an illegal smuggling operation.
After 50 minutes we reached our starting point just as the sun was beginning to shed light on the dark sky.
Once we reached the summit, we enjoyed a delicious meal among the changing clouds and mist. An hour later, bellies full and feeling well rested we started our descent. We bumped into a group of young Indian army corps on training. So excited to see us, we were greeted with lots of handshakes and requests for selfies. They even waved their flag for us!
On the final stretch, we walked through a few tea plantations. We wanted to see more, so the next day we took a less arduous trek along Lakshmi hills with a friendly guide called Kumar. A short man with long fingernails and a gold tooth.
The scenery of the tea plantations was out of this world! The hierarchy of roads, tracks, and small paths separating curving rows of tea plants was sprinkled with huge, ancient rocks fallen from the higher parts of the mountain.
The region in and around Munnar varies in height from 1,500 m to 2,695 m above sea level, and is home to some amazing wildlife. We spotted a Malabar giant squirrel, his long tail hanging from a branch. Some trekkers ahead of us spotted a leopard crossing their path just meters away, and we saw elephant dung belonging to wild elephants.
We could have spent a lot more time tasting tea, finding more waterfalls and spotting wild animals, but it was time to move onto allepey and go exploring in the backwaters of Kerala.
On the bus to allepey, it was our fourth day admiring the tea plantations, and we were still blown away by the sheer beauty of this area. Goodbye munnar, you will be missed.

3:24 is not Indian army. That's some students from NCC (National Cadet Corps). That's the Indian military cadet corps from school, college or universities.
He said Indian Army Corps. He was not wrong.
Okay, I really need to understand the difference. What's the difference?
Tea plantations eyy, can't get enough of 'em!

That is not Indian army! Its an elite Indian school students organization with army officers supervising!
And I have been to munnar more than 6 times and there is plenty more! With kanthaloor- anamudi region standing tall around 6300ft and also kolukkumalai region just below that
Still great visuals and seems lik you had a great time

How did you travel around munnar... ??? I'm a solo traveler and I'm planning to visit munnar next week nd I dnt have my own vehicle. Please help me out.???
We took a bus from allepey to get to munar. We walked around munar and some hikes we started from our hotel on foot. Other times we went into the street to find a tuk tuk. They are quite cheap if you haggle and they can take you everywhere. Hooe it helps
Awesome!!!

I was thinking... ooo this would be nice.... until you mentioned the leopard
Thought Report don't worry, they are very rare and are scared of humans. What you want to be careful of are the tigers haha ;)
Great video...but u guys should have camped on hill top @ night...thts a diffrent experience guys
I was a guide in Munnar....Hill top camping overnight is not permitted in some areas in Munnar
It's dangerous with leopards roaming.

@3:30 they are not from army
He said Army Corps in training.
Hey I am a north Indian as well. Tell me why we are harrased when we goes to your place?
@malayali girl No I am not referring to Kerala. I am taking about United States and all other European countries.
These people are not the one that is harassing you, it’s politicians....in fact politicians of any country’s main goal is to stay in power and they do what ever it takes...
What was the name of the hill you reached?
Santtu12 chokramudi peak in the first part, lakshmi hills in the second part
Thx! Great video btw!
That was not army
Yes, it’s NCC!
