One of the many reasons why newlyweds go on a honeymoon is to be alone in a new place where no one knows the couple. Of course, there is privacy within the confines of a hotel room but what about privacy in the open. The honeymoon destination is normally a new place and in this place the couple enjoys privacy even in the open. The honeymooners from not only India but all over the world can look up to Munnar, a beautiful hill station in God’s Own Country, Kerala.

About Munnar
The Western Ghats have thrown up three incredible hill stations that are the pride of South India in Ooty, Kodaikanal and Munnar. Munnar in Kerala is a great honeymoon destination for Indians as well as international travelers.
The hill station is located at the confluence of Kundalathree, Nallathanni and Mudrapuzha Rivers, three small mountain rivers flowing at an elevation in excess of 5000 feet. The name Munnar means three rivers.
Munnar, as are many other places in India, came in for special treatment from the British while they were ruling India. The hill station became a favorite summer resort for its remarkable climate during the summer months. The location of massive tea gardens in the area complements the natural environment of the area.
Munnar’ natural environment speckled with massive tea gardens is an ideal place to spend a honeymoon. Many places of interest in Munnar beckon all types of honeymooning couples. There is adventure, there are pristine places to visit, there are treks on benign routes, there are treks under tough conditions, there is wildlife to be seen, there is the highest peak in the region and there is exotic flora including the Neelakurinji, which only blossoms every twelve years.
The Beauty of Neelakurinji
The year 2018 will be a great year for planning a honeymoon trip to Munnar. The Neelakurinji is slated for blossoming in that year.
