“Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times”
MUNNAR
We where at Majestic bus stand Bangalore with no Plans(we just wanted to escape from this crowded city to somewhere peaceful and quite place to enjoy the beauty of nature). It was raining , it felt quite pleasant . I just looked into sky and with gentle Smile asked my Friends about trip Munnar and we all agreed.
Now the tricky part was "HOW TO REACH MUNNAR ?", After all the discussion we decided to travel via Bus and lucky 6 seats are available . we all took a seat in just 15 min our journey started.
via 11 PM we leave Bangalore (already late via 1 hr 30 min due to rain ). Around 7:30 AM bus stop for breakfast and as we are reaching to destination Nature start showing it beauty.
We reach around 11 AM in morning and we haven't expected that Munnar will be crowded i guess it is peak timing and due to long weekend people came to enjoy vacation ( ADVICE: NEVER VISIT ANY PLACE DURING PEAK SEASON).
We stay in place which is OKAY and we know that we are already late for today so going any place is not a good option instead of that we can visit local market and try to gather as much information about the place and mode of transport available for near by places without burning a hole in our pockets.
