Travel tips
- Carry cash in Indian Rupees for small vendors, as digital payment apps like UPI primarily require a local bank account.
- Expect frequent mountain mist and drizzle during your misty 15-22°C days, so plan outdoor viewings like Sunrise Munnar for early mornings before afternoon downpours.
- Tip around 10% in sit-down restaurants if a service charge is not already included on the bill.
- Use local prepaid tourist SIM cards, easily purchased with passport copies at major arrival hubs, for reliable navigation through winding plantation roads.
