Munnar

Munnar, deep in the Kerala foot hills, was one of my favourite destinations in India during my first visit there all those years ago. Like Darjeeling, Munnar is famous for it's tea plantations and the distinctive smell never fails leave you. The beauty and serenity of this place is unrivalled in India; no where is it easier to escape the hectic Indian streets than this, one of the finest Hill stations India.

It is possible to walk for day's amongst the plantations marvelling at the beauty and magnificence of the perfectly manicured plantations and chatting with the local tea pickers.

If you are heading to Kerala on any of your visits then be sure to put this high on your 'to do list' of destinations.

Mannali

Mannali is another one of those incredibly famous hill stations India and is highly popular amongst Indians as a holiday destination. It is claimed to be one of the most romantic destinations in India making it a honeymoon hotspot.

The fresh, clean air, sweet aromas and continuous sounds of running water where ever you go makes it not only romantic but also truly charming.

The city itself, based in the state of Himanchal Pradesh is quite large but that no way detracts anything from is uniqueness amongst Indian destinations, in fact it rather enhances as you know that once you are here you don't really have to leave for anything while at the same time the surrounding area, the main attraction of coming here, remains unspoilt and provides endless entertainment for all those who venture.

My trip wasn't so successful as it didn't stop raining the whole time I was there and my room flooded a little because of it. This however wasn't such a problem because the hiking around the area is truly wonderful. It dons the phrase; has to be seen to be believed. A great time to check it out is during the monsoon in India because the heavy monsoon rains unleash some of the most spectacular waterfall you may ever see.
