When is the best time for a Munnar honeymoon?
September to February. December and January bring cold nights, crackling fires at resorts and the clearest views, but also peak prices and crowds. September to November is greener and quieter, with afternoon showers. The monsoon (June to August) is romantic if you like mist and rain, but some viewpoints will be clouded over.
