MY "MUNNAR" PHOTO WINS

TRIP ADVISOR'S HONOUR

(By Subbaram Danda)

This photo of mine capturing a scenic spot of Munnar in Kerala, India, has been selected by TripAdvisor as one of this week's "winning shots." TripAdvisor is an internationally famous and well-patronized tour advising organization. It received a large number of photos from all over the world for this honour.

Munnar is a stunningly enchanting hill station of Kerala, popularly called God’s own country. Undoubtedly, it is a place to spend one's time luxuriating in the lap of pristine nature. Situated at 6,000 feet above sea level, it offers everything one looks for in summer – pleasant greenery all around, salubrious weather, gently caressing breeze, occasional mild showers and mist-covered undulating hillocks in the background.

Munnar, meaning three brooks, is at the confluence of three mountain streams. It can easily be reached by road from at least three important South Indian cities – Cochin, Coimbatore and Madurai.
