Munnar is a hillstation filled with pretty lakes on the western ghats at 1600m high. Kalpa is a quaint village in Himachal on Sutlej river where view of Himalaya is possible. Definately munnar would be my choice.
Munnar, the famed hill station of south India, is a romantic locale where natural beauty is everywhere to visit, explore and to enjoy. Munnar is situated at the confluence of three mountain streams – Muthirapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundala – and the word ‘Munnar’ means three rivers in Malayalam. Situated about 1600m above sea level, the hill station had been the summer resort of the British Government during the colonial era. Imprints of the colonial past stand tall in the Munnar town in the form of English country cottages. Virgin forests, savannah, rolling hills, scenic valleys, numerous streams, huge splashy waterfalls, sprawling tea plantations and winding walkways are all part of the great holiday experience on offer for a traveler to Munnar. Munnar is also known for Neelakurinji, a rare plant which flowers only once in twelve years. The ‘kurinji season’ in Munnar is a magnificent sight when the hills and valleys get bathed in the blue of the Neelakurinji blooms.
Munnar is located in the southern state of Kerala, Munnar is about 5200ft above sea level and is a great travel destination with amazing weather conditions. The name Munnar is a combination of the words, “Munnu” and “Aaru”, which means “three rivers” in the local language Malayalam. This is due to its location which is the junction of Muthirapuzha, Nallathanni, and Kundali rivers.
