Three neighbors. Three completely different vibes.
Munnar
The Classic Beauty. Endless tea gardens. Waterfalls.
Pros: Stunning tea scenery, great hotels.
Cons: Extremely crowded, traffic jams, commercialized.
Kodaikanal
The Misty Princess. Lake boating, pine forests, cozy cafes.
Pros: Great cafe culture, romantic misty vibes.
Cons: City-like traffic in town, tourist traps.
Vattavada
The Raw Escape. Farms, forests, and silence.
Pros: Zero traffic, organic food, adventurous trekking, cheaper stay.
Cons: No luxury shopping, limited restaurants, rustic infrastructure.
Verdict: Go to Munnar for luxury tea stays. Go to Kodaikanal for cafes. Go to Vattavada to disconnect from the world.
