The essential Munnar holiday checklist
• Pack cotton clothing for the season. Munnar normally has a pleasant climate, and light cotton clothing such as shirts, tees, shorts and cargo pants should suffice in the summer season. If travelling in the winter, you should pack a warm jacket, ankle boots, leg warmers, woollen beanie and gloves – it gets really cold in the early morning and night.
• Carry sturdy walking shoes with rubber soles. There’s a lot of walking to do in Munnar, and the terrain is often mixed. Rubber-soled shoes provide a good grip and adequate heel and arch support.
• Driver’s licence if you want to hire a car and drive. It is fun to drive around on the sleepy roads and explore Munnar, but you need a valid driver’s licence and Aadhaar card to hire a car.
• Essential medicines and bug repellent spray/cream. Certain times of the day, such as late evening, see swarms of bugs and mosquitoes. Do carry mosquito repellent cream or spray.
• Power banks and portable mobile dongles. Some parts of Munnar do not have good connectivity, and you might be miles away from a mobile charging station. A power bank and Internet dongle should help you stay connected.
• Booking at a premium Munnar resort. Staying at a premium property makes the holiday even more enjoyable, since you don’t have to worry about a thing and get pampered during your stay.
