Blissful Munnar, Our Dream Honeymoon DestinationWhen we got married, we headed to Kerala for our honeymoon. We had well researched on the net and were smitten over the pictures of this gorgeous state of beaches, sand, spices, backwaters, abundance of natural serenity. We were pretty sure it has to be Kerala, but the real question was Where in Kerala? We asked our tour agent and got the prompt reply in a fraction of seconds Munnar he said. Unfolding the tranquilizing essence of grasslands, Munnar was very soothing to eyes; it truly was a breath- taking sight. Munnar is a gorgeous hill station perched at the confluence of three mountain streams naming- Muthipuzza, Nallathanni and Kundala. We were booked at a beautiful Club Mahindra property. The resort overlooked beautiful lake and our Single bedroom apartment was very spacious and comfortable. The best thing about our apartment was we had all the privacy to cherish our honeymoon in the midst of stunning beauty. The staff here was very friendly and they learned from our agent that we were newly wed. The next thing we knew a chocolate cake and champagne was delivered to our room on the very first day with a note from the...more
