വട്ടവട
The easternmost terraced farming village in Munnar, home to Tamil people and known as 'Munnar's vegetable basket.'
Vattavada lies about 10 km north of Top Station and is one of the easternmost villages in Kerala. Its hillsides have been cleared into layered terraces where carrots, cabbage, garlic and strawberries are grown. The landscape is completely different from the tea hills. Most villagers are descendants of Tamils, and traditional mud houses are still preserved. Strawberries can be picked in winter. It is usually visited after Top Station on the way. The roads are narrow and winding, so a chartered car is recommended.
