Sceneries in Mankulam – Munnar


Beautiful Sceneries starts after Adimali. We can see lot of small rivers, Tea Plantations, water falls...















Climbing through the hill, we can reach on top of this water fall, but it is adventurous + need help from local person who knows the way.









From Adimali, around 20 km to Mankulam.Need to take divertion from Adimali-Munnar road.














Mankulam is isolated from other places in Munnar. There is one short cut road to Munnar but condition is not good. Second way is come back to main Adimali-Munnar road and go to Munnar.

Way To Mankulam .. Munnar


Mankulam is another scenic location on the way to Munnar. Mankulam is After Adimali. It may take 2- 3 hours to fully visit Mankulam Village and Sceneries












Mankulam is a village surrounded by hills. This is a good place to visit on the way to Munnar . Small Vehicles (car/Jeep) is better to use to go to Mankulam












Road to Mankulam is not in good condition, specially in rainy seasons















Way to Munnar and Mankulam have some dangerous curves, rash driving should be avoided
