A quiet village near Munnar known for its terraced fruit farms, cool weather, and stunning valley views.
Kanthalloor is a quiet village in the Western Ghats, located about 50 kilometers from Munnar town. Often referred to as the 'Fruit Basket of Kerala', its landscape is distinct from the surrounding tea plantations. Here you will find terraced slopes filled with a variety of fruits and vegetables that are not common in Kerala's tropical climate, including apples, oranges, strawberries, plums, peaches, and passion fruit. The climate is cooler and less humid than in the lowlands, making it pleasant for exploration throughout the year.
