5Half day hike with Samy
I went on this hike with my sister and really enjoyed it. Even though it was a bit rainy and foggy, the views of the mountains and tea plantations were incredible. Samy is a very knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly guide, and even drove us back to our hotel afterwards. There was also a hotel pickup at the start (for an extra fee), and Samy brought some delicious tea and snacks for on top of one of the mountains during the 8.2 km hike. I would recommend to wear shoes with good grip, and long trousers and socks as you will be walking through some vegetation and muddy trails during rainy season.
5Sami best guide
Sami was the best guide ever, he put a lot of effort in show me many things. He has the most important thing that a job needs, love for what you are doing.
5Munnar, Lakshemi Hill half day hike with sammy
My tour guide was Sammy and he was awesome. Sammy was very knowledgeable about the tea plantations and their history, I got a very insightful information about the types of wild life and plants that live in the area as well. On top of the plantations and ecosystem, he has given me insights on the types of medical herbs that are grown in the area and the history behind it. The hike itself was amazing, I was able to see the beautiful rolling hills of munnar and walk through the tea plantations. We also climbed two mountains with waterfalls and a full view of the area. The difficulty of the lakshmi hill hike I'd say was easy with steeps.
5Perfect trustful and laughing
Tea was the target, elephants viewing became the game

About Munnar
Munnar is a hill station in Kerala's Western Ghats, where tea bushes cover the slopes and the Nilgiri tahr grazes on grassland above the clouds.
Munnar lies at around 1,500 metres in the Western Ghats of Kerala, at the meeting of three rivers, which is where its name comes from. The hills around town are covered in rolling tea estates planted by British growers in the nineteenth century, and cardamom and pepper grow on the slopes of the Cardamom Hills nearby. A small museum tells the story of the tea industry.
