Top Station
ടോപ്പ് സ്റ്റേഷൻ
The highest road-accessible viewpoint in Munnar, standing on the border of Kerala and Tamil Nadu to look down over clouds and plains.
Top Station sits about 32 km east of town at an elevation of about 1,700 m. It is named after the highest station of the British-era cable freight line. From the car park, walk down the steps for about 10 minutes to the viewpoint. On clear days you can look out over the plains of Tamil Nadu and the sea of clouds. It is the end point of the Echo Point to Kundala Lake route, and it is a popular place to see the neelakurinji flowers when they bloom. Fog often rolls in during the afternoon, so go in the morning. The steps are steep, and the return trip involves a climb. Entry costs a few dozen rupees.
