Highlights

Top Station got its name from the fact that it was the uppermost railway station, located in the Kundala Valley. This destination is popular for many reasons, however, the famous Neelakurinji flowers (Strobilanthus), which bloom once in twelve years, makes this place special among tourists. Other things that make this a place worth visiting are its amazing tea plantation, serene valleys, enchanting waterfalls, and exotic forest life.

To catch a beautiful sight of the clouds hovering on top of the lake or over the tea garden, one must get up early in the morning and see how beautiful our nature looks, when left untouched and uninterrupted. The best time to visit the Top Station is from April to May and the best way to come here is through a bus or cab, which can be booked directly from Munnar..
