‘Munnar’ means three rivers. Munnar town stands at the convergence of three rivers - Muthipuzha, Nallathani and Kundala. These rivers join the Periyar River. The highest peak in south India, Anamudi, is located in Munnar. It is 2,695m high.

There are a lot of activities and adventure events to take part in here. If you’re an adventure enthusiast then the opportunities are plenty. On the Munnar Lake and on the mountains surrounding it, there are paragliding and river gliding agencies that take up amateurs as well as experts. Further down you can go boating – sometimes while on a ride you can spot herds of elephants, wild boar and varieties of deer across the landscape, from thick forests to gentle woods.
