Munnar - Day 1

Dated : 8 July 2017
Crew : Madhu & Me

The munnar plan was unplanned in my tight schedule. But I took that, I should take a break and refresh myself.
We started from Chennai at 8:30 PM by SRS Travel bus. Hope they came on the way by Madhurai, Dindugal, Palani. It is 5 in the early morning when we reach Palani.
The bus stopped at Marayur for an half an hour and allowed us to complete our mundane. From there, the ride was superb.

We step down in Munnar by around 8. We refreshed near by and waiting to start the trip. In the mid, some one interrupted our discussion. We looked back. He introduced himself came a tour guide map in hand. We cut his conversation. But he insisted to hear and let him complete his conversation.

We heard till end, he come up with a decent fair for the trip(Mattupatty direction). We started the tour in his Auto.
First we directed him to the nearby hotel for breakfast, he left us at the Sarvana Bhavan. Guys, really don't miss the food at the hotel. It is really delicious.
By the time we start it is almost 11. He like to change the plan if you are staying one more day. He come up with the first day to complete the Cochin Direction.

Initially he started to tell us about the Tea plantation.
He told about some facts
Which wood use by the Tea Factories?
Why the Silver Oak trees planted b/w the tea plants?
