Munnar Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Roads around Munnar are in poor condition and can be seriously affected by monsoon rains, so bus times may vary. The main KSRTC bus station (AM Rd) is south of the town, but it’s best to catch buses from stands in town, where more frequent private buses also depart.

There are around 10 buses a day to Ernakulam in Kochi (Rs 84, 4½ hours), and a few daily services to Kottayam (Rs 92, five hours), Kumily (Rs 68, five hours) and Trivandrum (Rs 176, nine hours). There are Tamil Nadu buses to Coimbatore (Rs 80, six hours, two daily) and Madurai (Rs 88, six hours, one daily at 2.30pm).
