The enchanting mists of Munnar
Just 13 km short of Munnar it started pouring heavily. The hills, whenever we had a glimpse through the trees, were emerald green. The tops disappeared into the mist above. Further away we could see the clouds moving on, deciding to give some hilltops a miss.

The resort we stayed at was just 10 kms short of Munnar town. It was called Munnar Woods -- cottages sloped down the hill, literally each in its little wood. The small, sloping pathway from each leadsto the main cottage that housed the reception and restaurant.

A stay at a suite set us back by about Rs 3,000 per night, buffet breakfast included. It was worth it.

The only hitch: you do not get food here round the clock. Lunch was served until three pm, dinner until 9.30 pm, and breakfast buffet is available till nine am.

But then, who wants food with such a wonderful view and the chilly mists. It was just heaven after the sultry Bangalore evenings.
