Majority of the people of Munnar are workers in the Tea plantations that flourish in Munnar. Other than the tea industry the most flourishing industry in Munnar is Tourism.
Munnar abounds in intoxicating greenery, indescribably beautiful mist-clad hills, valleys of unforgettable beauty, incredibly charming flowering plants, enchanting streams, mountains and the rarest species of animals and birds.
sMunnar, the green paradise of 'God's own Country', is the South Indian Kashmir where one can enjoy nature sans the dread for terrorism. It is unfortunate that the unlimited scope for tourism is not exploited here. The Neelakurinjis that blossom once in twelve years add special charm to Anamudi. When the Neelakurinjis bloom Rajamala and the nearby hills turn blue due to the effect of the flowers. This scenic beauty will forever remain in the mind of tourists.
In Munnar we see nature as the gentlest mother who soothes and comforts her bruised children. The butterfly's beautiful colours, the greenish beauty of fresh shoots and the blades of grass and nature's external pageantry offer a contrast to man's mortality and greed. Many lovely places like Pothamedu, Pallivasal, Chithirapuram, Mattupetty, Rajamala etc. offer immeasurable delights to tourists.
The intrinsic and irresistible beauty and the unparalleled quietude that Munnar can offer are incomparable
