If you can’t stand the heat, head up to the tea plantations

A friend who’s traveled around this region thoroughly recommended the tea plantation town of Munnar. I threw caution to the wind, and unraveled some carefully planned travel bookings and swapped some city days for heading up to this hill station.  From all corners of India, the British cultivated beautiful tea plantations and destinations for those who want to escape the steamy heat of the plains.  The 6 hour bus trip up here was incredible, slowly climbing the Western Ghats and taking hair pin bends with great precision. And a good test of vertigo as we climbed higher and higher!
