**The Drive to Munnar**
The road from Kochi to Munnar climbs through several distinct ecological zones. The foothills are hot and humid. As the road rises above 500 metres, the vegetation changes — rubber and coconut give way to tea, coffee, and cardamom. The Cheeyappara and Valara Waterfalls are both on the National Highway — the road passes close enough to see them without a detour.
