Things to do in Munnar

  1. Tata Tea Museum

    The TataTeaMuseum is, unfortunately, about as close as you’ll get to a working tea factory around Munnar. It’s a slightly sanitised version of the real thing, but it still shows the basic process. A collection of old bits and pieces from the colonial era, including photographs and a 1905 tea-roller, are also kept here. The short walk to here from town is lovely, passing some of the most accessible tea plantations from Munnar town.

  2. Surya Soma

    Surya Soma is a modern and bright eatery that dishes up cheap North Indian, local and Chinese dishes in a welcoming, modern dining area. Good tunes can usually be heard playing on the crackle-free sound system.

    Serving some of the best-value Indian food in town, SN seems to be perpetually full of people digging into morning dosas (Rs15 to Rs25) and other Indian dishes.

  4. Silver Spoon

    What is probably the swankiest joint in town, this family eatery has tables overlooking the river and whips up a fantastic Keralan fish-curry set meal (Rs75).

  5. Rapsy Restaurant

    This hole-in-the-wall is packed at lunchtime, with locals lining up for Rapsy’s famous paratha or biryani (from Rs40). It also makes a decent stab at fancy international dishes like Spanish omelette (Rs25) and Israeli shakshuka (scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spices; Rs35).
