The tourist season is from August to May but is especially lovely during the monsoons, with little streams and rivulets all over the place. It is close to the Eravikulam National Park, famous for the Nilgiri Tahr (Ibex).

Tea estates

Munnar is almost full of tea estates and has thick forest cover. Most of the people work in tea estates and many of them are labourers (to pluck the tea leaves). The majority of the tea estates (approx 27/30) are owned by Tata Tea, one of the Tata Group of companies. In fact, the entire area is known as the Kannan Devan Hills, from which the famous brand of the Tatas gets its name.
