Munnar is the incredible place which is to see in Kerala . I like this place very much due to its beauty and the greenery which are available in the Munnar. Thanks a lot for sharing this much informative lines which you have given in the midst of us. The tourist should prefer to visit this place at lest once in the life to feel the beauty of he Munnar.
