Kanthalloor

Kanthalloor, a charming hill station near Munnar, is known as the "Land of Fruits and Vegetables" for its unique climate that supports the cultivation of rare fruits like apples, plums, and strawberries—otherwise uncommon in tropical Kerala. Situated amidst lush valleys, towering mountains, and dense forests, Kanthalloor offers a refreshing escape from the lowland heat and buzz.

The rolling orchards, vegetable farms, and spice plantations of Kanthalloor create a picturesque landscape ideal for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Here, visitors can explore strawberry fields, apple orchards, and experience organic farming up close. As you wander through scenic pathways lined with verdant green, you’ll encounter the stunning beauty of surrounding waterfalls, including Keezhanthoor and the natural wonder of Anaimudi Shola, a protected forest area offering breathtaking views and rare flora and fauna.

One of Kanthalloor’s highlights is the Muniyara Dolmens, ancient megalithic burial sites that take you back to an era of prehistoric human settlements. These stone structures hold a mystery that fascinates historians and archaeologists, adding a cultural richness to Kanthalloor’s natural charm. The Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary, just a short drive away, offers yet another treasure trove of wildlife and nature trails, with opportunities to spot elephants, leopards, and a variety of birds in their natural habitats.

In Kanthalloor, time slows down, allowing you to bask in the tranquility and scenic vistas. Whether you’re trekking, relaxing by a gushing stream, or exploring fruit farms, every moment here is a refreshing departure from the ordinary.
