Mist in my room: Munnar diary
The drive from Cochin to Munnar takes you on one of the most scenic routes
in India. The road winds up, past lush green trees and you can feast your
eyes on raw nature, not wanting the ride to end.
• Airfare for Rs 100 and less!
I had taken an early morning flight from Chennai to Cochin [Cochin
airport is my favourite airport in India - a small, charming building with
clean toilets, an interesting shopping area and an appetising sandwich
bar]. The car that I had hired swung out of the port city and only
stopped at a roadside snack shop, an hour short of Munnar.
I was headed for Blackberry Hills, a charming resort with cottages
overlooking a gorgeous valley covered with tea plantation. I was lucky
to have the last room on the edge of the hill - where the balcony hung
over lush green steppes of tea bushes with a white church in the distant
village.
Bring out your books, order masala tea and you could spend your entire two
days perched on that balcony.
