Word on the street is, interesting people do planned travel and legends go backpacking. There is something very special about travelling light, just the essentials and no set itinerary. Want to walk up a hill one day, that’s absolutely fine; want to do nothing the next day, that’s fine too. When you go backpacking, you are doing essentially what you can do and afford, comfortably. The simplicity of that is what makes it so appealing.
When in Munnar, eat local. By local, we mean street food. They are delicious and pocket-friendly. Munnar as your backpacking destination is a smart choice because not only is it surrounded by natural beauty, it is also budget-friendly. You will be surrounded by lush tea gardens and it is enough to fill your senses, but do check out the Eravikulam National Park too.
