Kanthalloor
കാന്തല്ലൂർ
An orchard village at 1,500 m that grows apples, oranges and strawberries and is known as 'the Kashmir of Kerala.'
Kanthalloor lies about 50 km north of Munnar, near Marayoor. It is one of the few villages in Kerala where temperate fruits grow. Terraced fields hold apples, oranges, peaches, plums, strawberries and various vegetables. In winter, visitors can enter the orchards to pick and buy fruit. The village also has the Brahmalam viewpoint and tribal settlements, and it is much quieter than Munnar town. It suits a day trip with Marayoor and Lakkom Falls, or a stay at a farmhouse homestay.
