Summary:
What a great way to start your day in beautiful Munnar. The walk to where you can see the sunrise is relatively easy depending on your level of fitness and Aarun will make sure that everyone goes at its own pace, The way down is through the tea plantations and you can observe the beginning of the pickers' workday. Aarun is a very caring and knowledgeable person so you will learn so much about tea, Munnar history and also culture. Aarun has a surprising claim about green tea so book a tour with him to find it out.
I was lucky enough to also attend a tea tasting prepared by Aarun and it was great, he managed so well a large group of people making the session very interactive. Highly recommended to understand more about this magical place that Munnar is.

Summary:
I did a trek with Arun in the area of Yellapetty and had a fantastic time. Arun is an engaging and talented guide who’s able to relate well to people— not to mention a great walker who’s passionate about the mountains and natural heritage. He has an acute eye for details in nature and apart from being knowledgeable, it was interesting to hear his interpretations and insights on various subjects related to tea, history, and Indian society. It was a beautiful trek through the tea plantation villages and a Shola forest that led to a magnificent view of the Western ghats at the top. Thank you Arun, for having been my guide! I’ll remember our conversations and I hope to be back in Munnar again.
