Munnar to Thekkady by Cab — Why It Works
Munnar to Thekkady connects Kerala's two most famous hill destinations. The route via Marayur takes you through sandalwood forests (rare in Kerala) and past the prehistoric megalithic graves of Marayur before descending into cardamom country around Thekkady. Both destinations are in the Western Ghats — so unlike the Munnar–Alleppey route, this drive stays at altitude throughout, making it consistently cool and scenic.
