Beautiful Tea Garden At Munnar In Kerala , Colors Of India Stock Photo

Located in the mountains of the Western Ghats in the state of Kerala, Munnar is a hill station surrounded by some of the most scenic verdant tea plantations in India. Established in the late 19th century, the sprawling tea estates are regarded as the producers of finest quality tea and prominent hub of the tea trade in the country. Tea plantations in Munnar are situated on an undulating terrain, which appears as a thick carpet of green colour. Terraced plantations are also prevalent to prevent soil erosion and to facilitate irrigation. Tea gardens have become the reasons for Munnar`s international fame, and Tata Tea recently established a tea museum in the area order to provide an insight into the process that is involved behind every delicious sip of tea.
