Get a trip package from Bangalore to Kanthalloor

Fancy heading to the mountains but tired of the same options like Ooty and Munnar? Given that the pandemic has forced us to look for lesser-known and less-visited destinations, we've found a place, especially for you! About 50km from Munnar and nestled in the hilly region is a small town called Kanthalloor. With the climate ranging from pleasantly cool (in summer) to very cold (in winter), this place is the perfect getaway when you need a break from the tourist crowds and stereotypes.

Bangalore to Kanthalloor trip package

The next time you're planning a trip to the mountains, skip the usual Munnar plans and head to Kanthalloor, a lesser-known town known for its sprawling farmsteads, small-town charm, and scenic, scenic beauty that deserves a mention. Kanthalloor and its surroundings are part of the evergreen Shola Forest and the rugged terrain offers scenic beauty in the form of waterfalls, mountain views, eucalypt forests, and wildlife.

In addition, the wide range of organic and exotic fruits, vegetables, and flowers that grow there is extremely exciting for lovers of this type of product. You can take your adventurous trip from Bangalore to Kanthalloor by car and use our Bangalore to Kantalloor Trip Package.

However, there is plenty to explore if you are planning to visit the city. The cave temple dedicated to Sri Rama in the middle of the forest and the Keezhanthoor waterfalls are just some of the must-see attractions. Muniyara in Anakottapara Park (a few kilometers away) houses dolmens, ancient burial sites believed to date from the Stone Age. The place will amaze you with its slight resemblance to Stonehenge and the tranquility that surrounds it. In our opinion perfect for a late afternoon or evening!

This small town is full of bed and breakfasts where you can park during your trip. However, we recommend that you choose an agritourism that will allow you to recharge your batteries amid lush nature and an old farmhouse. Kanthalloor is famous for its orchards (reputed to be the only place in South India where apples are grown), vegetable farms, and terraced farms, which promise beautiful views everywhere. So add farm visits and strolls to your exploration plans while you're here. Oh, and on the way back be sure to stop by the Jaggery Making Center where you can watch the process and even get flavored jaggery! Plan a weekend, folks.
