Munnar, despite being a very popular town teeming with domestic tourists, seemed rather rough at the edges compared to the polish and confidence of Mumbai. It even lacked the sophistication of cosmopolitan Kochi.
Interestingly, even though it’s a Keralan town, the people here are all Tamils instead of Malayalee. We asked our guide, and he said it’s because Munnar is only an hour away from the border with Tamil Nadu. He himself is Malayalee, and he said most Malayalees live in another town just minutes away.
