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.

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.
Kanthaloor Apple Garden

Trekking and off-road safaris are among the highlights of an adventure trip, although there isn't much wildlife apart from the usual gaurs, peacocks, wild boar, etc.
Ervaikulam National Park is not far away and is home to the Nilgiris Thar. Please note that the park is only open at certain times of the year.

Kanthaloor Beautiful Landscape
The rolling mountains are covered with evergreen plants and the cone-shaped eucalyptus peaks that tower over the hillside form a towering pattern that is lush and soothing. Anamudi, the highest mountain in southern India, is one such mountain range.Hiking or even driving a 4x4 to admire the panorama from the top of the mountains is an experience not to be missed. A jeep tour or a 4x4 ride gives us a very different experience from our stay in Kanthalloor. In this small town, we can meet many jeep drivers. They will take us into some of the inner parts of the forests and tribal community.
Unique Viewpoint (Othakal para): This is an off-road route that takes us into a forest area. We will drive over narrow and bumpy roads that offer a real off-road experience. From the parking lot, we have to walk about 1 km on a narrow path to reach the top of the mountain. It is a truly picturesque place and a photographer's paradise
Bhramaram Location: Famous after the Malayalam film Bhramaram in which Mohanlal drives a jeep to the top of this rocky mountain. Although not a full off-road tour, it is best to go by jeep as the road conditions are poor for cars. To reach this easy rock lookout you have to walk about 500 meters from the parking lot along a narrow path. The area is surrounded by lemongrass farms. The view from the top of this rock is breathtaking and the view of the sunset from here is a very beautiful landscape.
