How safe is Munnar for female travelers?

Travel safety index

3.9 /5

based on 3 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

Amazing city, absolutely beautiful, in the middle of the tea plantations! It feels like we've left India, it's uncanny! The place is great but it's a bit difficult to get by, not as many tuktuk as in other places, and hotels are a bit more expensive. Still manageable

My family consists of 15 people, so I felt pretty safe travelling with them. And also fellow tourists had many women travellers so made me feel assured. Climate was good and didn’t experience any bad things. Safe place to stay and went to waterfalls and some jeep activities, it was fun and people were very hospitable.

Munnar is a great hill station, lush green and non commercial, authentic good, pure air. Beware of the spice gardens and the products they try to sell on account of authentic stuff. It's way too costly and not sure if it's authentic or not. Food might be average at hotels but good on the street. Overall people are good but stay away from people trying to get business out of travellers as usual.
