Travel guide
The classic climb from the coast to the High Ranges — with waterfalls by the roadside.
The Kochi to Munnar route is about 130 km and takes 4 to 4.5 hours via Aluva or Perumbavoor, Kothamangalam, Neriamangalam and Adimali (NH 85), passing Cheeyappara and Valara waterfalls, spice gardens and viewpoints. From Cochin airport it's slightly shorter. Start in the morning to reach Munnar by early afternoon.
