The nearest airport and railway station to Munnar are at Kochi, which is 130 km away. Many buses and taxis ply to Munnar from Kochi, Coimbatore and Madurai. Nearest railway station to Munnar is Aluva which is 120 Kilometers away and Ernakulam Town and Ernakulam Junction which are 130 kms ... But the ride is with lots of twists and turns so do take care of your medications.

Fly down to Kochi or take a train / bus to Kochi. Hire a car for the 140 km long enjoyable ride to Munnar. Alternatively reach Madurai through air / rail / road and travel to Munnar – but roads are not in good shape. Carry adequate winter clothing since weather does get chilly

Be with your loved ones and not be disturbed

The best way to reach Munnar is to get to Cochin and then take the bus or hire a vehicle to reach Munnar in 3-4 hours. For local travel in Munnar request your hotel to organize a vehicle. There are star category hotels and resorts catering to the needs of tourists. Warm fleece jacket or woolen jumpers are necessary. Take an umbrella or raincoats because heavy clouds might appear quite suddenly over the mountains. After 5pm thick fog starts to envelope the hills sometimes giving zero visibility. Plastics are banned in Munnar panchayat. Avoid the monsoon season while visiting Munnar.
