Top Station
Top station is a beautiful tourism destination in Munnar, Kerala. It’s a good trekking place too. You have to walk some distance, then climb and climb down mountain steps to go to Top Station from where your vehicle is parked. But it’s worth the effort.
This tourist destination offers a panoramic view of the majestic Western Ghats, Kolukkumalai, Tribal Colony & the valley of Theni district in Tamil Nadu.
I loved the beautiful view from the Top Station. I didn’t feel much tired, but my wife was tired as she climbed and down the hills. You can also go down the mountain, top station to its valley which is also a good feeling. I highly recommend you to go to this place, if you do not have any serious mountain sickness issues or worried about feeling fatigued.
